The LCD is 12.  Thus, your 

(x-2)/4 - (x+3)/3 = -2 becomes  12((x-2)/4 - (x+3)/3 = -2), or

                                                    3(x-2) - 4(x+3) = -36

Then 3x - 6 - 4x - 12 = -36.  Combining like terms,

 -x = -36 + 18, or -x = -18, or x = 18.  

Check this result by subbing 18 for x in the given equation.

Please note:  You must use parentheses here as indicated to eliminate any ambiguity about order of operations and what divides into what.

Please solve these 4 math equations...
vichka [17]

Answer:

1) x = 60° ; y = 70°

2) x = 50° ; y = 80°

3) x =110° ; y = 60°

4) x =60° ; y = 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

We have to find the interior angle y

= 180 - 120

= 60°

Now we have to find x

=180 - (60 + 50)

= 180 - 110

= 70°

2)

We know that opposite angles are equal

So therfore y = 80°

x = 180 - 80 + 50

x = 180 - 130

x = 50°

3)

According to the figure we see that x+y=180

Exterior angle = sum of two interior angle

So, x = 50 + 60

x = 110°

Now we substitute in the x value

x + y = 180

110 + y = 180

y = 180 - 110

y = 70°

4)

Opposite angles are equal

x = 60°

The figure is a right angle triangle

So,

y =90°

9/10 = z/8 round to the nearest tenth
jeka57 [31]
9/10 = z/8

cross multiply

9/10(10)(8) = z/8(8)(10)

9(8) = z(10)

72 = 10z

Isolate the z, divide 10 from both sides

72/10 = 10z/10

z = 72/10

z = 7.2

7.2, or D) is your answer

hope this helps
