How do I solve 372 = -3x - 6(8x + 6)? I already know that x = -8, but I need to know the process of how to get it.

The value of x is -8

Step-by-step explanation:

The steps of solving an equation of one variable

  1. Simplify the two sides of the equation
  2. Separate the variable in one side and the numerical term in the other side
  3. Divide the both sides by the coefficient of the variable

∵ 372 = -3x - 6(8x + 6)

- Simplify the R.H.S. of the equation by multiplying the bracket by 6

∵ 372 = -3x - [6(8x) + 6(6)]

- You must put the square bracket because the sign in-front of 6

  is (-) and the (-) changes the signs after it

∴ 372 = -3x - [48x + 36]

- Remember (-)(+) = (-), multiply the square bracket by (-)

∴ 372 = -3x - 48x - 36

- Add the like terms in the R.H.S.

∴ 372 = -51x - 36

- Add 36 to both sides to separate x in the R.H.S.

∴ 408 = -51x

- Divide both sides by -51 (coefficient of x)

∴ -8 = x

I hope these steps help you

The value of x is -8

Mia wants to borrow £6000 and repay it, with interest, after two years. she sees two offers for loans: offer 1 compound interest
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

she is wrong, offer 2 results in lower interests

Step-by-step explanation:

total amount paid if offer 1 is accepted:

$6,000 x (1 + 3%)² = $6,000 x 1.0609 = $6,365.40

she will pay $365.40 in interests

total amount paid if offer 2 is accepted:

($6,000 x 1.01) x 1.05 = $6,060 x 1.05 = $6,363

she will pay $363 in interests

Compounding interest refers to interest that earns more interest itself, e.g. in the first offer, the $180 of interests charged for the first year will earn $5.40 in extra interests. While offer 2 only charges $60 in interests during the first year which will in turn earn $3 of interests. The difference between both offers is that interest charges in offer 1 earn more interests than the interest in offer 2 = $5.40 - $3 = $2.40

A car is towed using a force of 1600N. The rope used to pull the car makes an angle of 25∘ with the horizontal. Find the work do
mezya [45]

Answer: 2900185 Joules

Step-by-step explanation:

Force used to tow the car is 1600N

Angle(α)= 25

Displacement = 2km

Recall that 1km= 1000m

Therefore 2km= 2000m

Workdone= FdCos α

W= 1600 * 2000 * cos 25

W=2900184.919

W= 2900185 Nm(when approximated to the nearest integer)

Since 1J = 1Nm

Work done = 2900185 J

Answer:

<h2>67.7</h2><h2 />

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter = semicircle (x2) + parallelogram side (x2)

                = 1/2 π 12 (x2) + 15 (x2)

               = 37.7 + 30

               = 67.7
