2. Identify the property of equality that justifies the missing step to solve the given equation

Subtraction property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation;

2x + (x+5) = 41

open the parenthesis;

2x+x + 5 = 41 (Associative property)

3x+5 = 41

Subtract 5 from both sides

3x + 5 = 41

3x + 5- 5 = 41 - 5 (Subtraction property of equality)

3x = 36

Divide both sides by 3;

3x/3 = 36/3

x = 12 (Division property of equality)

Hence the required property is Subtraction property of equality

this excerpt is taken from the book “we shall not be moved : the women’s factory strike of 1909 “ and is written by joan dash. it is the story of the great strike when almost 30thousand women working in factories in america formed a union to fight unsafe working conditions, long working hours and miserable wages.

question: which best states the author’s purpose for including this information in the text?

answer: to challenge the reader’s ideas about a historical event

whole number data type

step-by-step explanation:

as whole number type represents whole number

like 1, 2 ,3, 4

in other words the whole numbers are those numbers which cannot be written infraction.

since we can take days as a whole number i.e 1 day 2 day and we cannot write 1.2 day hence we will use whole number data type
