In order to solve for the variable in the equation 2 (4 x + 3) + 4 = 3 x minus (2 x + 4), Giovanni first applies the distributive property. Which equation is a result of this step?

8x + 6 + 4 = 3x - (2x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

When Gio applies the distributive property, the equation above is the result. Naturally, I look at the 1st parenthesis I see and start the 1st distributive property there first. The 2nd distributive property would be the other parenthesis where you multiply by -1, so you would get 8x + 6 + 4 = 3x - 2x - 4

∠1≅∠2 by the alternate exterior angles theorem.

step-by-step explanation:

given, a ∥ b and ∠1 ≅ ∠3 .we have to prove that e ∥ f

we know that ∠1≅∠3 and that a || b because they are given. we see that by the alternate exterior angles theorem. therefore, ∠2≅∠3 by the transitive property. so, we can conclude that e || f by the converse alternate exterior angles theorem.

we have to fill the missing statement.

transitivity property states that if a = b and b = c, then a = c.

now, given ∠1≅∠3 and by transitivity property ∠2≅∠3 .

hence, to apply transitivity property one angle must be common which is not in result after applying this property which is ∠1.

the only options in which ∠1 is present are ∠1 and ∠2, ∠1 and ∠4

∠1 and ∠4 is not possible ∵ after applying transitivity we didn't get ∠4.

hence, the missing statement is ∠1≅∠2.

so, ∠1≅∠2 by the alternate exterior angles theorem.

answer: it's d
