IM REALLY CONFUSED, please help

Mathematics
1 answer:

6(x + 3) = 3x - 3     Given
6x + 18 = 3x - 3     Distribute the 6
6x = 3x - 21           Subtract 18 from both sides
3x = - 21                Subtract 3x from both sides
x = -7                     Divide both sides by 3

5x - 2 = 3(x + 2)
5x - 2 = 3x + 6
5x = 3x + 8
2x = 8
x = 4

Jeff's solution is incorrect; his solution is incorrect because he added 3x to the left side when he should have subtracted it to cancel it from the right side.

Hope this helps.

What is the magnitude (size) of 6.8?
lidiya [134]

Answer:

C. 6.8, because |6.8|= 6.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnitude of a directed number is a property that turns the number to a positive of its value. Thus, the magnitude of a negative number equals its positive value. Examples:

Find the magnitude of the following numbers:

i. -20

ii. 10

iii. -5

iv. 2

The magnitudes of the numbers can be expressed as:

i. |-20| = 20

ii. |10| = 10

iii. |-5| = 5

iv. |2| = 2

Therefore, the magnitude of 6.8 = 6.8, because |6.8|= 6.8.
