Answer:

x = 29

Step-by-step explanation:

If the equation is :

4.2(9-x)+36=102-2.5(2x+2)

→distribute 4.2 and -2.5 in parenthesis

4.2(9 - x) + 36 = 102 -2.5(2x + 2)

37.8 - 4.2x +36 = 102 -5x -5

→ have terms with x = terms without x

Keep the terms you need the way they are, and move the terms you need on the other side of equal sign with changed sign.

4.2(9 - x) + 36 = 102 -2.5(2x + 2)

37.8 - 4.2x +36 = 102 -5x -5

- 4.2x +5 x = - 37.8 - 36 + 102 - 5

→ Combine like terms

0.8x = 23.2

→ Divide both sides by 0.8

x = 29

Which expression is equivalent to -3(4x-0.50)? PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEE HELPPP

Misha Larkins [42]

Final Answer: $-12x + 1.5$

Steps/Reasons/Explanation:

Question: Which expression is equivalent to $-3(4x - 0.50)?$

Step 1: Expand by distributing terms.

$-3$ × $4x - 3$ × $-0.50$

Step 2: Simplify $-3$ × $4x$ to $-12x$ .

$-12x - 3$ × $-0.50$

Step 3: Simplify $3$ × $-0.50$ to $-1.5$ .

$-12x - (-1.5)$

Step 4: Remove parentheses and add.

$-12x + 1.5$

What is the value of x in the equation x - 2/3 + 1/6 = 5/6? 1) 4 2) 6 3) 8 4) 11

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{4}{3}=1\dfrac{1}{3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x-\dfrac{2}{3}+\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{5}{6}\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 6}\\\\6x-6\!\!\!\!\diagup^2\cdot\left(\dfrac{2}{3\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}\right)+6\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\left(\dfrac{1}{6\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}\right)=6\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\left(\dfrac{5}{6\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}\right)\\\\6x-(2)(2)+1=5\\\\6x-4+1=5\\\\6x-3=5\qquad\text{add 3 to both sides}\\\\6x=8\qquad\text{divide both sides by 6}\\\\x=\dfrac{8}{6}\\\\x=\dfrac{8:2}{6:2}\\\\x=\dfrac{4}{3}$
