The answer is A. x=4.

Start off by distributing the parentheses into the equation.

4x+2(x+6)=36

4x+2x+12=26

Combine like terms.

4x+2x=6x

6x+12=36

Now solve the equation as normal. Begin by subtracting 12 from both sides to isolate the variable.

6x+12=36

-12 -12

---------------

6x = 24

Divide 6 on both sides to find x.

6x=24

---- -----

6 6

x=4

The solution to the equation is 4.

X=4

4x+2x+12=36
6x+12=36
6x=36-12
6x=24

The length of a rectangle is 3 times the width.the permitted of the rectangle is 72ft find the dimensions of the rectangle

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Lets set up the relationship of the length to width:

l = 3w

Using this, we can make all the variables the same by substitution:

2l + 2w = perimeter
2l + 2w = 72
2(3w) + 2w = 72
6w + 2w = 72
8w = 72
w = 9

The width is 9, to the length must be 9*3, or 27.

Hope this helped!

A cell phone provider offers a plan that costs $30 per month plus $0.10 per text message sent or received. A comparable plan c

mariarad [96]

300 messages would have to be sent or received in order for the plan to cost same each month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost per month = $30

Per text sent or received charges = $0.10

Let,

x be the number of texts sent or received.

A(x) = 0.10x+30

A comparable plan costs = $60 per month

Text messages are unlimited.

B(x) = 60

For the two plans to cost equal;

A(x) = B(x)

$0.10x+30=60\\0.10x=60-30\\0.10x=30$

Dividing both sides by 0.10

$\frac{0.10x}{0.10}=\frac{30}{0.10}\\x=300$

300 messages would have to be sent or received in order for the plan to cost same each month.

What is the linear function equation represented by the graph?

ioda

Answer:

y = (3/5)x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

You can see immediately that the y-intercept is (0, 3).

As we go right from the point (-5, 0) to the point (0, 3), x increases by 5 and y increases by 3. Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = 3/5.

Starting with the generic y = mx + b, we get y = (3/5)x + 3.
