Answer:
X = 2 or X = -10
Step-by-step explanation:
We know either3x+12=18or3x+12=−18
3x+12=18(Possibility 1)
3x+12−12=18−12(Subtract 12 from both sides)
3x=6
3x
3
=
6
3
(Divide both sides by 3)
x=2
3x+12=−18(Possibility 2)
3x+12−12=−18−12(Subtract 12 from both sides)
3x=−30
3x
3
=
−30
3
(Divide both sides by 3)
x=−10
Answer:
x=2 or x=−10
Take $1.75 from the $10 then dived the 55cents into the sum. Thus $10 - $1.75 = $8.25. / .55 =15 miles exactly
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
(1)
= 
( cross- multiply )
6p = 8 ( divide both sides by 6 )
p = 
= 
(2)
= 
( cross- multiply )
7n = 32 ( divide both sides by 7 )
n = 
(3)
= 
( cross- multiply )
3x = 20 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 
Answer:
16 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of the ladder=20 feet
Distance from the base of the ladder to the house = 12 feet
You will notice that a wall is vertical and the ladder makes an angle with the horizontal ground(making it the hypotenuse). This is a right triangle problem.
To find the how far up the house can the ladder can reach, we simply find the third side of the right triangle.
From Pythagoras theorem
The third side of the right triangle is 16. Therefore the ladder leans 16 feet from the ground.
Answer:
<u>The sum of their ages now is 13</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Dally's age = x
Dilly's age = x - 7
In 4 years time Dilly will be half Dally’s age, therefore:
Dilly's age plus four equals to half of Dally’s age plus four,
replacing with the values and variables we know:
x - 7 + 4 = (x + 4) /2
x - 3 = (x + 4) /2
2x - 6 = x + 4 (Multiplying by 2 at both sides)
2x - x = 4 + 6 (Like terms)
x = 10 ⇒ x - 7 = 3
<u>The sum of their ages now is 13 (10 + 3)</u>
