Joey and Nolan are each solving the equation 13x - 42 = 18 - 7x. Joey's first step was to rewrite the equation as 20x - 42 = 18 while Nolan's first step was to rewrite the equation as 13x = 60 - 7x. Who is correctly applying the addition property of equality in the first step of his work? A. Only Joey B. Only Nolan C. Both Joey and Nolan D. Neither Joey nor Nolan​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct option: C.

(Both Joey and Nolan)

Step-by-step explanation:

The step Joey did is:

Add 7x to both sides of the equation

Then, he got:

13x - 42 + 7x = 18 - 7x + 7x

20x - 42 = 18

The step Nolan did is:

Add 42 to both sides of the equation

Then, he got:

13x - 42 + 42 = 18 - 7x + 42

13x = 60 - 7x

So both of them used correctly the addition property of equality in the first step of their work.

Correct option: C.

Answer: False, language is a more specific word.

Step-by-step explanation:

Language is a complex and structured system of communication.

This word particularly refers to the "artificial codes or ciphers" that humans use to communicate.

The thing in the sentence is more general than language, this refers to communication:

"Communication is a complex system that includes the ways we express ourselves, such as speaking or writing, and ways we receive information, such as listening and reading."

So the actual sentence is false.
