5x-x=-12
4x=-12
X=- 12/4
X=-3

First, cancel out your X values to get one x on a side. To do this subtract the x that is least in value. X is smaller than 5x, so you have to subtract it.
5x-x= 4x,
Now your new equation is 4x= -12.
Divide both sides by 4.
Answer is X= -3

PLS HELP WILL MARK BRAINLIST IF ANSWER IS CORRECT !! :) FILL IN THE BLANKS

Answer:

Part 1) The volume of the storage body is 576 cubic feet

Part 2) To find out how many boxes can she fit in the storage body, divide the volume of the storage body by the volume of each box

Part 3) Sheila can fit 64 boxes into the truck

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the volume of the storage body

we know that

The volume of the of the storage body is equal to the volume of two rectangular prism

The volume of a rectangular prism is equal to

$V=LWH$

First rectangular prism (top)

$V=(15)(6)(8-6)=180\ ft^3$

Second rectangular prism (bottom)

$V=(15-4)(6)(6)=396\ ft^3$

The volume of the storage body is

$V=180+396=576\ ft^3$

step 2

we know that

To find out how many boxes can she fit in the storage body, divide the volume of the storage body by the volume of each box

step 3

substitute the given values

$\frac{576}{9}= 64\ boxes$

therefore

Sheila can fit 64 boxes into the truck

Simplify -62 ÷ 12 - 2(-7). -17 35 11 -35

Rina8888 [55]

I don't know if you know something called PEMDAS

Parentheses
Exponent
Multiply
Divide
Add
Subtract

So you would do the -2(-7) first giving you 14

So now we have -62/12 +14

now you would do -62/12 giving you -5.16666667

and now the equation is -5.16666667 + 14 = 8.83333333

I know for a fact, being in Calculus Honors, that what I did to simplify is correct. Using the Order of Operations, or PEMDAS (Commonly remebered as "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally". It stands for "Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, and Addition and Subtraction".) to simplify this answer is necessary.

If your teacher wrote this problem please inform him or her of Order of Operations before your classmates use it even though its wrong.
