Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write out equation

6 - 4x = 6x - 8x + 12

Step 2: Combine like terms (x)

6 - 4x = -2x + 12

Step 3: Add 4x on both sides

6 = 2x + 12

Step 4: Subtract 12 on both sides

-6 = 2x

Step 5: Divide both sides by 2

-3 = x

Step 6: Rewrite

x = -3

Answer:

The answer is x= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

6 - 4x = 6x - 8x + 12

First, add like terms. (6x-8x)

6-4x=-2x+12

Then "add" 4x to both sides.

6=2x+12

Then subtract 12 from both sides.

-6=2x

The final step is to divide. Divide 2 from both.

Your answer is x= -3

I hope this helps!!!

Answer:

.75h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that length of the hair of Florencia on Monday = h centimeters. So new length of the hair of Florencia on Tuesday = 75% of Monday value

= 75% of (h)

= 0.75* (h)

= 0.75h

The midpoint of \overline{\text{AB}}

Schach [20]

Answer:

<em>The coordinates of b are: B=(-7,-8)</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the coordinates of the midpoint of $\overline{\text{AB}}$ as M=(-5,-2).

We are also given the coordinates of A=(-3,4). The question requires us to calculate the coordinates of the other endpoint B.

Let (xb,yb) the coordinates of B. The coordinates of the midpoint can be calculated as follows:

$\displaystyle x_m=\frac{x_a+x_b}{2}$

$\displaystyle y_m=\frac{y_a+y_b}{2}$

We know xa=-3 and xm=-5. Solve the first equation for xb:

$2x_m=x_a+x_b\Rightarrow x_b=2x_m-x_a$

Substituting:

$x_b=2\cdot (-5)-(-3)=-10+3$

$x_b=-7$

We can solve the second equation for xb and get:

$y_b=2y_m-y_a$

Since ya=4 and ym=-2, then:

$y_b=2\cdot (-2)-(4)=-4-4$

$y_b=-8$

Thus, the coordinates of b are: B=(-7,-8)

I dont know how to make 0.3 as a fraction and then simplify.

Lapatulllka [165]

0.3 is 3/10, (which is already simplified) because .3 is out of 1. Which means that that 1 is 10. Which is 3/10.
