Answer:
The value of x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation
- Expand 12(x-2) = 12x - 24
- Expand 1/2(x+6) = 1/2x + 3
so the equation becomes
simplifying
multiplying both sides by 2
subtracting x from both sides
divide both sides by 29
simplifying
Therefore, the value of x = 2
So to solve for y, subtract 108 from each side.
The equation becomes -y=126
Since you don't want y to be negative then divide each side by -1 this will flip all of the signs (positives become negative and vice versa) without changing the number.
So the equation is now y= -126
We use unit rate in every day life, for example, when comparing prices at stores. One store may offer five bowls for $7.99 and the other one bowl for $2.45.
