Simplifying 3x + 2 = 38

Reorder the terms: 2 + 3x = 38

Solving 2 + 3x = 38

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -2 + 3x = 38 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + 3x = 38 + -2
3x = 38 + -2

Combine like terms: 38 + -2 = 36 3x = 36

Divide each side by '3'. x = 12

Simplifying x = 12

Answer = 12

Subtract 2 from both sides

simplify 38 - 2 to 36

divide both sides by 3

simplify 36/3 to 12

Answer: x = 12.

Alex, Bruno, and Charles each add the lengths of two sides of the same triangle correctly. They get 27 cm, 35 cm, 32 cm, respect

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

47 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alex, Bruno, and Charles each add the lengths of two sides of the same triangle correctly.

They get 27 cm, 35 cm, and 32 cm, respectively. Find the perimeter of the triangle, in cm

find:

Find the perimeter of the triangle, in cm. What is the most efficient strategy you can find to solve this problem?

solution:

27, 35, and 32 are each the sum of a different pair of sides of the triangle

Then 27 + 35 + 32 is the sum of all three sides, each counted twice.

Thus, 27 + 35 + 32 = 94 is twice the perimeter

therefore,

the perimeter of the triangle is 94/2 = 47 cm.

Question number 10 is the same as the previous questions add them up and make them equal to 180 degrees, and then solve for the x variable.

For the second part of the question, simply plug in the value of x for each expression for R and S.

When factored completely, the expression 3x2 - 9x + 6 is equivalent to

Lunna [17]

Let's see what the options look like when we multiply the expressions in brackets:

(first, i multiply both parts of the second bracked by the first part of the first bracket, and then the same with the second part of the first bracket:
(1) (3x - 3)(x - 2))

3x2 +6x -3x +6// this is not correct

(2) (3x + 3)(x - 2) 

3x2-6x+3x-6//this is not correct

(3)

3(x + 1)(x - 2)
3(x2-2x+x-2)//simplifying:
3(x2-x-2)//multiplying:
3x2-3x-6)
- so this is not correct either
(4) 3(x - 1)(x - 2)
3(x2-2x - x + 2)
3(x2-3x +2)
3x2-9x +6 - well, here is our winner!
