X - 3= -21 This is so confusing:(​

Mathematics

Answer:

x = -18

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 3 = -21

add 3 to both sides

x - 3 + 3 = -21 + 3

x = -18

sidenote: you can add anything to both sides of an equation, and it'll still be true. for example, 2 = 2, if you add 1 to both sides you get 3=3 which is still true.

Answer:

\huge\boxed{x=-18}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this, we are trying to find the value of x. Basically, x is a placeholder for a number that is unknown. Some number minus 3 is equal to 21.

Our goal is to find x. To do this we want to isolate x on one side of the equation

x-3=-21

Let's add 3 to both sides.

x-3 + 3 = -21+3\\\\-3 + 3 = 0\\\\x = -21+3\\\\x=-18

Hope this helped!

2a - 3b = -11<br> a + 3b = 8
dlinn [17]

Answer:

b = 3 and a = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

You have your given equation:

2a - 3b = -11

a + 3b = 8

You need to find what a and b is.

To find b:

2a - 3b = -11

-2a - 6b = -16

I multiplied a + 3b = 8 by -2. When you multiply a number you have to multiply all of them. You have to choose a number that would cancel out all of a.

So now your equation would look like this when you solve for b:

2a - 3b = -11

-2a - 6b = -16

-------------------

a - 9 = -27 then you divide -9 to -27 which is 3 so b = 3.

To find a:

2a - 3b = -11

a + 3b = 8

I multiplied a + 3b = 8 by -1 and 2a - 3b = -11 by -1 as well.

Your equation will look like this when you solve for a:

-2a + 3b = 11

-1a - 3b = -8

------------------

-3a = 3 then divide -3 to 3 which is -1 so a = -1.

Check to see if you have the correct answer by plugging in the number you got for a and b into the equation and solve.

1. 2(-1) -3(3) = -11

 -2 - 9 = -11

2. -1 + 3(3) = 8

   -1 + 9 = 8

the probability of a basketball player hitting a foul shot is 1/3. how many shots would you expect her to make in 90 attempts?
Kaylis [27]
90 attempts are made and only one third are successful. Multiply the attempts by successes and you get 30 successful shots (90 x 1/3= 30).

Consider the equation y= -2x -3.
Alona [7]

Part A

The graph is shown below as an attached image.

The diagram shows a straight line that goes through the two points (0,-3) and (1, -5)

I'm using GeoGebra to graph the line.

side note: (0, -3) is the y intercept which is where the graph crosses the y axis.

==================================================

Part B

Answer is choice 2

The graph can be written in the form y = mx+b, so it is linear

In this case, m = -2 is the slope and b = -3 is the y intercept

We can write the slope as m = -2 = -2/1. This tells us that we can move down 2 units and then over to the right 1 units to get from point to point. This process of "down 2, over to the right 1" happens when moving from point A to point B in the diagram below.

Using f(x) = 4x + 6 with a domain of {-1, 0, 2 }, find the range.
lianna [129]

Answer:

{2, 6, 14}

Step-by-step explanation:

Using f(x) = 4x + 6 with a domain of {-1, 0, 2 }, find the range.

To get the range, we will substitute the values of the domain into the given function as shown;

when x = -1

f(-1) = 4(-1)+6

f(-1) = -4+6

f(-1) = 2

when x = 0

f(0) = 4(0)+6

f(0) = 0+6

f(0) = 6

when x = 2

f(2) = 4(2)+6

f(2) = 8+6

f(2) = 14

Hence the required range are {2, 6, 14}
