The sum of two numbers is 77. The greater number is 5 more than the smaller number. Which equation can be used to solve for the smaller number?x(x − 5) = 77
x(x 5) = 77
x − (x 5) = 77
x (x 5) = 77

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: If the smaller number is x,the greater one is x+5
so x+ x + 5 = 77
2x= 77 - 5
2x = 72
x = 36
so, none of the equations are right

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer: x + (x+5) = 77

Explanation: the last equation option wasn’t written right on the question

Drag each tile to the correct location.

With ten galleys he went forth from Puteoli, carrying with him great stores of painted scenery and theatrical properties, together with a number of knights and senators, whom he feared to leave behind him at Rome, and who were all marked for death in the course of his wanderings. In his train he took Natus, his singing coach; Cluvius, a man with a monstrous voice, who should bawl out his titles; and a thousand trained youths who had learned to applaud in unison whenever their master sang or played in public. So deftly had they been taught that each had his own rôle to play. Some did no more than give forth a low deep hum of speechless appreciation. Some clapped with enthusiasm. Some, rising from approbation into absolute frenzy, shrieked, stamped, and beat sticks upon the benches. Some—and they were the most effective—had learned from an Alexandrian a long droning musical note which they all uttered together, so that it boomed over the assembly. With the aid of these mercenary admirers, Nero had every hope, in spite of his indifferent voice and clumsy execution, to return to Rome, bearing with him the chaplets for song offered for free competition by the Greek cities.strangebeautifulshoutingpraisefaithfulflatteringpunishment

D.to invite party

Answers

In the sentence: Karissa wanted to invite up to fifteen people to the party.

what should be added when an adverb begins a sentence A comma B a semicolon C an exclamation mark Da period

Answers

Let's take an example. An adverb is basically an adjective for a verb: it describes a verb, and often ends in -ly. Here's a sentence, WITHOUT PROPER PUNCTUATION: "Slowly Anna walked." What fits here?

Let's work backwards. If D is correct: "Slowly. Anna walked." This is incorrect, because this would make "slowly" part of a separate sentence, not the beginning of the same sentence. This is the same situation for C. If it were correct: "Slowly! Anna walked." This makes it a separate sentence, so C is incorrect. What about B? "Slowly; Anna walked." This is incorrect because it makes "slowly" too separate from "Anna walked." Semicolons are used for completely separate ideas, NOT adverbs. The only right answer is A: "Slowly, Anna walked." This separates the adverb enough so it doesn't confuse, but you still know we are really saying "Anna walked slowly."
