Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

6(5 - 2x) + 12 = -66

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

Distribute 6: 30 - 12x + 12 = -66
Combine like terms: 42 - 12x = -66
Subtract 42 on both sides: -12x = -108
Divide both sides by -12: x = 9

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

6(5 - 2(9)) + 12 = -66

6(5 - 18) + 12 = -66

6(-13) + 12 = -66

-78 + 12 = -66

-66 = -66

Direct variation: two variables, one variable is a constant multiple of another variable

y = k x .... k constant

4y = x - 2

y = 1/4 x -1/2 ..... y = k x + b y is not a simple multiple of x

How the heck do you solve these type of problems?

Trava [24]

21) 3(2j-k)=108 It is asking you to set the equation equal to j
distribute the 3
6j-3k=108
move k to the other side by adding on both sides
6j=108+3k
divide everything by 6
j=18+0.5k
