7b + 3 – 4b = 3 – 3(b + 4) (a) 3/2 (b) –2 (c) no solution (d) all real numbers

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

 b

Discussion:

7b + 3 - 4b = 3 - 3(b+4)  =>

7b + 3 - 4b = 3 - 3b -12 =>

(7b - 4b) + 3   = -3b - 9 =>

3b + 3 = -3b -9    =>      Add 9 to both sides

3b + 12 = -3b -9 + 9  =>

3b + 12 = -3b  =>         ( add 3b to both sides)

6b + 12 = 0 =>             (subtract 12 from both sides)

6b = -12 =>

b = -12/6 = -2

Thank you,

MrB

false

step-by-step explanation:

false.   two legs of the trapezoid would be congruent, but the other two would not.   were all the legs congruent, then we'd have a square; were the 2 shorter sides congruent and the 2 longer sides also congruent, we'd have a rectangle.
