First distribute 3 to (x-4). that gives you 3x-12. Now your equation is x-2=3x-12. Now you subtract x from 3x. now you're equation is -2=2x-12. then add 12 to the left. You're final answer is 10.

X-2=3x-4. Solve for x by first subtracting x from the left side (you want to keep x positive if you can). You then have -2=2x-4. Subtract four to help get x by itself and you have -6=2x. Divide by 2 and your answer is -3=x.

it takes Jupiter 11.9 years to orbit,or go around the sun. Saturn takes 17.6 more years than Jupiter to orbit the sun. About how

pochemuha

Saturn takes 17.6 more years than Jupiter, so 17.6 + 11.9 will get you how long Saturn will take to orbit the sun, which would give you 29.5 years.

Find the midpoint of the line segment with the given endpoints.<br> (-3,-7) and (3,0)

Crank

The coordinates of the midpoint:
$(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$
x₁,y₁ - the coordinates of one endpoint
x₂,y₂ - the coordinates of the other endpoint

$(-3,-7) \\
x_1=-3 \\ y_1=-7 \\ \\
(3,0) \\
x_2=3 \\ y_2=0 \\ \\
\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}=\frac{-3+3}{2}=\frac{0}{2}=0 \\ \\
\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}=\frac{-7+0}{2}=\frac{-7}{2}=-3.5 \\ \\
\boxed{(0,-3.5)} - \hbox{the midpoint}$

How to simplify integers

lina2011 [118]

I don't think that you can. Integers are either positive or negative real numbers without decimals, so there isn't anything to simplify.
