Consider the sequence of steps to solve the equation: x - 3 3 = x + 3
step 1 ⇒ x - 3 = 3(x + 3)
step 2 ⇒ x - 3 = 3x + 9
step 3 ⇒ x = 3x + 12
step 4 ⇒ -2x = 12
step 5 ⇒ x = -6
identify the property of equality which yields step 5.
a) division property
b) addition property
c) subtraction property
d) multiplication property

Abucket of paint has spilled on a tile floor. the paint flow can be expressed with the function p(t) = 6(t), where t represents time in minutes and p represents how far the paint is spreading. the flowing paint is creating a circular pattern on the tile. the area of the pattern can be expressed as a(p) = 3.14(p)^2 part a: find the area of the circle of spilled paint as a function of time, or a[p(t)]. show your work. part b: how large is the area of spilled paint after 8 minutes? you may use 3.14 to approximate pi in this problem.
