X+9=2x-3<br> FIND THE X!!!!!!
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>To find "x"</u>, we need to <u>isolate it</u>. This means move "x" to the left side, and everything else to the right side.

When moving a number, do its <u>reverse operation</u> to the entire equation.

x + 9 = 2x - 3

x - 2x + 9 = 2x - 2x - 3         Subtract 2x from both sides

-x + 9 = -3                              

-x + 9 - 9 = -3 - 9           Subtract 9 from both sides

-x = -12

-x/-1 = -12/-1          Divide both sides by -1 to get rid of the negatives

x = 12                     Final answer

Check your answer. Split the equation for the left and right sides. Substitute "x" for the answer "12".

LS:   (left side)

x + 9

= 12 + 9              Add

= 21

RS:   (right side)

2x - 3

= 2(12) - 3            Multiply before subtracting

= 24 - 3               Subtract

= 21

Both sides equal to 21 when "x" is 12.

LS = RS          left side equals right side

Therefore the answer is correct.

If the Alexanders completed the 735 mile trip in 15 hours, what was their average rate of travel?
Darina [25.2K]
The rate of travel here is in mph - "miles per hour".

That just means how many miles you can travel in one hour. In this problem, you're given 15 hours, and the distance they travel within those 15 hours.

Therefore, you should divide both the number of miles and the number of hours by 15 to find out how far they can travel in 1 hour.

735 ÷ 15 = 49 miles
15 ÷ 15 = 1 hour

Their average rate of travel was 49 miles in 1 hour, which is 49 mph.

if the measure of &lt;BEC is (2x+3)° and x=30, which expression could represent the measure of &lt;AED?​
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The answer is 3x-27

Step-by-step explanation:

If the angles are vertical from each other it means they are congruent. 2x+30 is 63, you plug in the x, 2(30)+30. You do that to the second one and also get 63, 3(30)-27. Therefore 3x-21 is the answer.
