What is the value of x in the equation −x = 2 − 3x + 6?

1 answer:

7 0

-x = 2 - 3x + 6

Add 3x to both sides.

-x + 3x = 2 + 6

Simplify.

2x = 8

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 4

~Hope I helped!~

At a historical landmark, candles are used to simulate an authentic atmosphere. A volunteer is currently putting new candles in

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Each small candleholder holds 3 candles, and each large one holds 5 candles.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of candles that a small candleholder holds.

y is the number of candles that a large candleholder holds.

24 small candle holders and 3 large candle holders, using a total of 87 candles.

This means that

$24x + 3y = 87$

Simplifying by 3

$8x + y = 29$

$y = 29 - 8x$

14 small candle holders and 7 large candle holders, for a total of 77 candles.

This means that $14x + 7y = 77$

Simplifying by 7

$2x + y = 11$

$y = 11 - 2x$

Since $y = 29 - 8x$

$11 - 2x = 29 - 8x$

$6x = 18$

$x = \frac{18}{6}$

$x = 3$

$y = 29 - 8x = 29 - 8*3 = 29 - 24 = 5$

Each small candleholder holds 3 candles, and each large one holds 5 candles.

3/20 4x + 2(x - 6) = 12

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

4x+2(x-6)=12

$4x {}^{2} - 24 + 2x - 12 = 12 \\ 4x {}^{2} - 36 + 2x = 12 \\ 4x {}^{2} + 2x = 12 + 36 \\ 4x {}^{2} + 2x = 48 \\ 4x { }^{2} + 2x - 48 = 0$
