Answer:

-3x + 36

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to distribute the -3 to (x - 8), like so:

12 - 3(x - 8)

12 - 3x + 24

Add like terms (12 and 24):

12 + 24 = 36

-3x + 36

Seven times the difference of x and 4 is -10

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

In this equation x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, it is easiest to convert these words to numbers. That would make it

4 - x · 7 = -10

First subtract 4 from both sides.

4 - x · 7 - 4 = - 10 - 4

Then you simplify.

-x · 7 = -14

Divide both sides by 7.

$\frac{-x(7)}{-7} = \frac{-14}{-7}$

Then you simplify that fraction to 2 and thats how you get your answer.

Which equation has a solution of n = 4?

Allushta [10]

Answer:

D. 7n = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's substitute 4 for n in each equation to check if it the resulting equation is correct:

$6+n=24\\ 6+4=24\\ 10\neq 24\rightarrow \text{Incorrect!}$

$5n=54\\5(4)=54\\20\neq54\rightarrow\text{Incorrect!}$

$12-n=16\\12-4=16\\8\neq16\rightarrow\text{Incorrect!}$

$7n=28\\7(4)=28\\28=28\rightarrow\text{Correct!}$

Therefore the answer is D

Write the ratio in fractional notation in lowest terms. 28 inches to 42 inches

ivolga24 [154]

28 to 42 means 28/42

We now reduce 28/42 to lowest terms.

28 ÷ 7 = 4

42 ÷ 7 = 6

We now have 4/6.

We now reduce 4/6.

4 ÷ 2 = 2

6 ÷ 2 = 3

Final answer: 2/3
