The property of equality that justifies the step from
\[ 3z/2 - 5 = 10 \]
to
\[ 3z/2 - 5 + 5 = 10 + 5 \]
is the Addition Property of Equality. This property states that if you add the same amount to both sides of an equation, the equality remains true.
To solve the equation \( 2f5 - 85 + 2f = 8 \), let's first clarify and rewrite it correctly. Assuming "2f5" means \( 2f \cdot 5 \), or \( 10f \), the equation can be rewritten as follows:
\[ 10f - 85 + 2f = 8 \]
Now combine like terms:
\[ (10f + 2f) - 85 = 8 \] \[ 12f - 85 = 8 \]
Next, we'll add 85 to both sides of the equation using the Addition Property of Equality:
\[ 12f - 85 + 85 = 8 + 85 \] \[ 12f = 93 \]
Now, we divide both sides by 12 using the Division Property of Equality:
\[ f = \frac{93}{12} \]
Simplifying \(\frac{93}{12}\):
\[ f = \frac{31}{4} \]
So, none of the provided responses directly match \(\frac{31}{4}\). Let's convert it to decimal or check alternatives:
Calculating \(\frac{31}{4}\): \[ 31 \div 4 = 7.75 \]
None of the answers you provided corresponds to \( \frac{31}{4} \) or \( 7.75 \).
Could you please verify if the original equation you provided has been stated correctly, or provide more information?
No problem! Let's solve the correct equation you provided:
\[ \frac{2f}{5} - 85 + \frac{2}{f} = 8 \]
First, let's combine the terms and isolate the terms involving \(f\).
Now our goal is to eliminate the fractions. We can multiply the entire equation by \(5f\) (the least common multiple of the denominators) to clear the fractions:
Multiply both sides by \(5f\): \[ 5f \left(\frac{2f}{5}\right) + 5f \left(\frac{2}{f}\right) = 93 \cdot 5f \] \[ 2f^2 + 10 = 465f \]
Rearrange the equation to set it to 0: \[ 2f^2 - 465f + 10 = 0 \]
Next, we can either use the quadratic formula or try to factor it if possible, but since the coefficients look large, we'll use the quadratic formula where: \[ f = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \] where \(a = 2\), \(b = -465\), and \(c = 10\).
Calculate \(b^2 - 4ac\): \[ b^2 - 4ac = (-465)^2 - 4 \times 2 \times 10 \] \[ = 216225 - 80 = 216145 \]
Calculate the square root: \[ \sqrt{216145} \approx 465.12 \]
Plug the values back into the quadratic formula: \[ f = \frac{465 \pm 465.12}{4} \]
This gives us two potential solutions: 1. \[ f \approx \frac{465 + 465.12}{4} \approx \frac{930.12}{4} \approx 232.53 \] 2. \[ f \approx \frac{465 - 465.12}{4} \approx \frac{-0.12}{4} \approx -0.03 \]
Neither of these results seem to match your provided options. Thus, let's check if there's a valid simplification we can find using the bilateral properties of equality.
Let's verify if we can simply plug options into the original equation.
