Congress refused to grant African Americans citizenship rights

Answer 1

The correct statement regarding how presidential and congressional reconstruction plans differed is:

The president wanted to bring seceded states back into the Union as quickly as possible.

Presidential Reconstruction, primarily associated with President Andrew Johnson, aimed for a speedy restoration of the Southern states with relatively lenient terms. In contrast, Congressional Reconstruction, led by the Radical Republicans, sought to implement more stringent measures to protect the rights of freedmen and to change the political and social structures in the South more fundamentally.

Answer 10

Suzie solved the equation 9x−5=14(16x+60)
using the following steps:

1) Distribute 1/4 to get 9x−5=4x+60


2) Use subtraction property of equality to move 4x to get 5x−5=60


3) Use addition property of equality to move 5 and get 5x=65


4) Use division property of equality to get x=13


Determine if Suzie solved correctly - if not, identify which step was the mistake.

Answer 11

Let's review the steps together to identify if Suzie solved the equation correctly:

The original equation is:
\[ 9x - 5 = 14(16x + 60) \]

1. Step 1: Distribute \(14\) to both \(16x\) and \(60\):
   \[ 9x - 5 = 224x + 840 \]

2. Step 2: Subtract \(224x\) from both sides to bring \(x\) terms together:
   \[ 9x - 224x - 5 = 840 \]
   This simplifies to:
   \[ -215x - 5 = 840 \]

3. Step 3: Add \(5\) to both sides:
   \[ -215x = 840 + 5 \]
   This simplifies to:
   \[ -215x = 845 \]

4. Step 4: Divide by \(-215\):
   \[ x = \frac{845}{-215} \]
   This simplifies to:
   \[ x = -\frac{845}{215} \]
   Which further reduces to:
   \[ x = -\frac{169}{43} \]

Based on this review, we can see that:

• Suzie made a mistake in Step 1 by distributing \(14\) incorrectly and then representing it as \(1/4\) instead of calculating it appropriately for both terms.

Therefore, the correct response is:

Suzie made a mistake on Step 1 - she should have distributed the 14 to 16x and 60 as well.
