Answer:

x = -4/3 or -1.3333333....... (infinite)

Step-by-step explanation:

6x-4=(12x+4)

6x-4+4=12x+4+4

6x = 12x + 4 + 4

6 = 12x + 8

6x - 12x = 12x + 8 - 12x

-6 = 12x + 8 - 12x

-6x = 8

-6x/6 = 8/-6

x = 8/-6

x = -4/3

Answer:

$\sf x = -\dfrac{4}{3}$

Explanation:

Given Expression:

2(3x-2) = (12x+4)

Remove Parenthesis:

2(3x) - 2(2) = 12x + 4

Multiply Integers:

6x - 4 = 12x + 4

Exchange Sides:

12x - 6x = -4 - 4

Simplify:

6x = -8

Divide Both Sides by 6:

x = -8/6 = -4/3

What values complete each statement?

aliya0001 [1]

For this case we have:

By properties of the radicals $\sqrt {a} = a ^{\frac {1} {2}}$

So:

$(\sqrt {7}) ^ 2 = (7 ^ {\frac {1} {2}}) ^ 2$ .

Now, for power properties we have:

$(b ^ {\frac {c} {d}}) ^ e = b ^ {\frac {c * e} {d}}$

Thus, $(7 ^ {\frac {1} {2}}) ^ 2 = 7 ^ {\frac {2} {2}} = 7$

So:

$7 ^ {\frac {1} {2}} = \sqrt {7}$ in its radical form

Answer:

$(\sqrt {7}) ^ 2 = (7 ^ {\frac {1} {2}}) ^ 2= 7 ^ {\frac {2} {2}} = 7$ in its simplest form.

$7 ^ {\frac {1} {2}} = \sqrt {7}$ in its radical form

A positive integer from one to six is to be chosen by casting a die. Thus the elements c of the sample space C are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that six integers 1,2,3,4,5 and 6.

We are given that sample space

C={1,2,3,4,5,6}

Probability of each element= $\frac{1}{6}$

We have to find that $P(C_1),P(C_2),P(C_1\cap C_2) \;and\; P(C_1\cup C_2)$

Total number of elements=6

$C_1$ ={1,2,3,4}

Number of elements in $C_1$ =4

$P(E)=\frac{number\;of\;favorable \;cases}{Total;number \;of\;cases}$

Using the formula

$P(C_1)=\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}$

$C_2$ ={3,4,5,6}

Number of elements in $C_2$ =4

$P(C_2)=\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}$

$C_1\cap C_2$ ={3,4}

Number of elements in $(C_1\cap C_2)=2$

$P(C_1\cap C_2)=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}$

$C_1\cup C_2=$ {1,2,3,4,5,6}

$P(C_1\cup C_2)=\frac{6}{6}=1$

A school dance committee is made up of 2 freshman, 4 sophomores, 2 juniors, and 2 seniors.

qaws [65]

Answer:

4 and 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 different grades represented, so for the first question, there are 4 ways that the students can sit if they must sit together by grade.

For the second question, there are 3 grades other than senior level, so it starts with 3 ways that the students can be seated. 3 ways x 2 students per way = 6 ways
