4.5(8-x)+36=102-2.5(3x+24) show step by step how to solve please.

1 answer:

3 0

Expand

simplify 36 - 4.5x + 36 to -4.5x + 72

simplify 102 - 7.5x - 60 to -7.5x + 42

add 7.5x to both sides

simplify -4.5x + 72 + 7.5x to 3x + 72

subtract 72 from both sides

simplify 42 - 72 to -30

divide both sides by 3

simplify 30/3 to 10

Answer: x = -10

If the perimeter is 168 and the width is 6 feet longer than thr length what are the dimensions

Ksenya-84 [330]

$\bf \textit{perimeter of a rectangle}\\\\ P=2(L+w)~~ \begin{cases} L=length\\ w=width\\ ----------\\ P=168\\ w=\stackrel{\textit{6 feet longer than L}}{L+6} \end{cases}\implies 168=2(L+\stackrel{w}{L+6}) \\\\\\ 84=2L+6\implies 78=2L\implies \cfrac{78}{2}=L\implies \boxed{39=L} \\\\\\ w=39+6\implies \boxed{w=45}$

The graph of a line goes up and to the right when:

Afina-wow [57]

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

Option: C is the correct answer.

c) the coefficient of x is positive

<h3><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></h3>

We know that graph of a line goes up and to the right when the coefficient of x is positive.

Since we know that when a line goes up and to the right this means that the line is increasing and hence we will get a positive slope of the line and we know that the slope intercept of a line is given as:

$y=mx+c$
