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.

write the equation of a line that is parallel to y = - 3/2 x -1 and that passes through the point (4,6)

maria [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:Given Equation of line has slope m=-3/2

So the line passing through (4,6) has the same slope because both are parallel

From slope intercept form we have

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-6=-3/2(x-4)

y-6=-3/2x +3/2(4)

y=-3/2x+12

2y=-3x+24

We need to collect 30 stickers and each bag has 3 stickers

3p = 30
↑ ↑
Number of stickers in a bad Number of stickers to be collected

$\frac{3p}{3}$ = $\frac{30}{3}$
p = 10
