Answer:

x= 37/36

Step-by-step explanation:

−12(3x−4)=11

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−12(3x−4)=11

(−12)(3x)+(−12)(−4)=11(Distribute)

−36x+48=11

Step 2: Subtract 48 from both sides.

−36x+48−48=11−48

−36x=−37

Step 3: Divide both sides by -36.

−36x

−36

−37

−36

-1/2(3x-4) = 11

Multiply both sides by -2:

3x-4 = -22

Add 4 to both sides:

3x = -18

Divide both sides by 3:

X = -6

Find X when x equals negative 15

Ann [662]

Judging by the question you have provided I came to the conclusion that you have already solved your own problem!

If the goal is to find X when X=-15 then your answer for X should be -15!

If this is not the entire equation please post the entire one!

Hope this helped!

Jada solved the equation Negative StartFraction 4 over 9 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 108 EndFraction for x using the step

Lilit [14]

Answer: First option.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete exercise is attached.

In order to solve this exercise, it is necessary to remember the following property:

The Multiplication property of Equality states that:

$If\ a=b\ then\ a*c=b*c$

In this case, the equation that Jada had is the folllowing:

$-\frac{4}{9}=\frac{x}{108}$

Jada needed to solve for the variable "x" in order to find its value.

The correct procedure to solve for for "x" is to multiply both sides of the equation by 108. Then, you get:

$(108)(-\frac{4}{9})=(\frac{x}{108})(108)\\\\-48=x$

As you can notice in the picture, Jada did not multiply both sides of the equation by 108, but multiplied the left side by $-\frac{4}{9}$ <em> </em>and the right side by $-\frac{9}{4}$ .

Therefore,you can conclude that Jada should have multiplied both sides of the equation by 108.

How do I solve this I’m dumb

-1/4 + f/8 = 1/2.
The LCD is 8. Rewrite this equation as -8/4 + 8f/8 = 8(1/2) and then reduce the result:

-2 + f = =4

Then f = 6.

You should check this result.

Given the graph of the pre-image and image, identify the correct<br> coordinate transformation.

ziro4ka [17]

The preimage was shifted to the image by a translation 2 units right and 2 units up, so the answer is $(x,y) \longrightarrow (x+2, y+2)$
