Your answer is correct, don't worry! To check your answer, just plug in the answer you got with the variable you are supposed to find. Multiplying by a half is like dividing by two. So, 16 divided by 2 is 8. 8 multiplied by 8.25 is 66. I'm jealous of your handwriting.. XD

You got the right answer!

My math seems a little different though


I would set up the equation to be 66= (base*8.25)/2

multiply 66 by 2 = 132

132= base*8.25

divide both sides by 8.25, which equals

base= 16

* this symbol means multiply!

Hope this helps!

How do u solve 4(3x-1)=9-x
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Well the first step is to apply the distributive property:

4(3x - 1) is equal to (12x - 4). You DISTRIBUTE a '4' to what is inside the parentheses.

And btw, to make it easier, you can make 9 - x so that x is first. For example, (-x + 9). They're both the same thing, just written differently.

Your new equation is 12x - 4 = -x + 9. You want to now solve the equation.

Add the (-x) to both sides. It cancels out on the right side and you add it to 12x on the left side.

[If there's no number in front of a variable, you can always just put 1 in order to make it easier]

12x + 1x = 13x. Your new equation is 13x - 4 = 9. This should look very familiar. You simply add 4 to both sides. 9 + 4 = 13

Finally, 13x = 13. Divide 13 ÷ 13 to get 1.

x = 1
