I'm thinking the answer would be 6 because I divided 72 by 12.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3(2x + 7) - 2 (x + 5)
need to distibute
5x+10-2x+3
combine like terms
3x+13
divide
x=4.3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. y = -2x + 7
2. Graph it (Mark (0, 7) or 7 on the y axis and go over one, down two, mark it and draw a line through both)
3. -2y = -x + 6
4. divide entire equation by 2 to isolate y
5. -y = -x + 3
6. multiply entire equation by -1 to make it positive
7. y=x+3
8. graph it (Mark (0,3) and go over one, down one, mark it and draw a line through both new points)
9. Where the lines intersect is your answer
Answer:
We need to find which expressions are equivalent to
,
or neither.
: We extract the greatest common factor which is 6. Remember, when we extract a GCM, we divide each term by it.

Therefore, this expression is equivalent to neither of the given expressions.
: We just need to apply the distributive property.

Therefore, this expression is equivalen to
.
We use the same process to the other expressions.



, equivalent to neither.
It is mentioned in the problem that the shape is a square, hence, we could say that all side's measurement is the same and it is equal. It can be written in a different arrangement of terms, but still, the value to be solved is the same. The sides can be written in the following forms:
S1=6(3X+8)+32+12X
S2=18X+48+32+12X
S3=18X+80+12X
S4=30X+80
