First divide 3 both side
Than move 4 to another side
Than divide by 2
\frac{3(2x + 4)}{3}  =  \frac{ - 6}{3 }  \\ 2x + 4 =  - 2 \\ 2x =  - 2 - 4 \\ 2x =  - 6 \\ \frac{2x}{2}  =  \frac{ - 6}{2}  \\ x =  - 3

Five times a number is the same as two times a number added 21
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Our number is 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

We also know that it's 2x + 21 = 5x.

Now we solve.

21 = 5x - 2x

21 = 3x

7 = x

A basketball player made 80 baskets in a season. Of these, 20% were three-point shots. Determine the number of three-point shots
Amanda [17]
The answer is 16 three-point shots.
The way to do this is by doing 100 / 20 which is 5, and then you would do the total (80) divided by 5 which is 16

The coordinate grid shows points A through K. What point is a solution to the system of inequalities?
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Option D) F

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

y < -2x+10 -----> inequality A

The solution of the inequality A is the shaded area below the dashed line y=-2x+10

The y-intercept of the dashed line is (0,10)

The x-intercept of the dashed line is (5,0)

y < \frac{1}{2}x-2 ----> inequality B  

The solution of the inequality B is the shaded area below the dashed line y=\frac{1}{2}x-2

The y-intercept of the dashed line is (0,-2)

The x-intercept of the dashed line is (4,0)

The solution of the system of inequalities is the shaded area between the two dashed lines

see that attached figure

Remember that

If a ordered pair is a solution of the system of inequalities, then the ordered pair must lie on the shaded area of the solution

therefore

The solution are the points

E, F and G

John and Emily are brother and sister. John has as many brothers as sisters, and Emily has twice as many brothers as sisters. Ho
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

4 boys, 3 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

brothers of John ⇒ x

sisters of John ⇒ y

John has as many brothers as sisters:

  1. x = y

brothers of Emily ⇒ x + 1 (Emily have the same amount of brother as John, plus one (John))

sisters of Emily ⇒ y -1 (Emily have the same amount of sister as John, minus one (herself))

Emily has twice as many brothers as sisters:

  1. 2 (y-1) = x+ 1

Now we have a system of 2 equations and 2 variables

x=y (I)

2y - 2 = x + 1 (II)

____________

Replace x in equation II

2y - 2 = y + 1

2y - y = 2 + 1

y = 3

____________

Replace y in equation I

x = y = 3

That mean that John have 3 brothers plus himself, there is 4 boys in the family and John have 3 sister, so there is 3 girls in the family
