Answer:

<h3>X=-3</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate x on one side of the equation.

<u><em>DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY</em></u>

A(B+C)=AB+AC

A(B-C)=AB-AC

3(4x+4) (First, expand.)

3*4x=12x

3*4=12

12x+12

2(5x+9)-12

2*5x=10x

2*9=18

10x+18

18-12=6

12x+12=10x+6

12x+12-12=10x+6-12 (Subtract 12 from both sides.)

6-12 (Solve.)

12-6=6

12x=10x-6

12x-10x=10x-6-10x (Subtract 10x from both sides.)

12x-10x (Solve.)

12x-10x=2x

2x=-6

2x/2=-6/2 (Then, divide by 2 from both sides.)

-6/2 (Solve.)

-6/2=-3

x=-3

As a result, the final answer is x=-3.

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Distribute </u>

3(4x + 4) = 2(5x + 9) - 12

(3 * 4x) + (3 * 4) = (2 * 5x) + (2 * 9) - 12

12x + 12 = 10x + 18 - 12

<u>Step 2:  Combine like terms </u>

12x + 12 = 10x + 6

<u>Step 3:  Subtract 10x from both sides </u>

12x + 12 - 10x = 10x + 6 - 10x

2x + 12 = 6

<u>Step 4:  Subtract 12 from both sides </u>

2x + 12 - 12 = 6 - 12

2x = -6

<u>Step 5:  Divide both sides by 2 </u>

2x / 2 = -6 / 2

x = -3

Answer:  x = -3

A clock loses 2 minutes every 6 hours. At 3:00 pm, the clock is set to the correct time and allowed to run without interference.
avanturin [10]

Answer:

24 minutes, 2:36 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

As working with hours is difficult because it does not use decimal system, lets work with minutes, not hours.

So, the clock is set to work normal at 3:00 pm and we need to get the minutes lost three days after. We know that, as 1 day has 24 hs, 3 days have 72 hours. Then, as our clock loses 2m after every 6 hs, we need to see how many 6hs are there in 72 hs. We do this bt dividing 72 by 6:

72/6 = 12

So, in 72 hours we will have 12 periods of 6hs. As our clock loses 2m after every 6 hs, in 3 days we will lose 2m 12 times. This is:

12 * 2 = 24

The clock loses 24 minutes.

Now we need to see the time it will read.

If there were no problems, the clock should read 3:00 pm after 3 days (72hs). But, as it lost 24 minutes, it will read 2:36 pm, it is, 24 minutes before 3:00 pm.
