2x + 4 = 12

We're simply just trying to isolate x.

So, we must get x onto it's own side of the equal sign :)

Our first step is to subtract 4 from both sides.

2x + 4 - 4 = 12 - 4

Simplify.

2x = 8

Then, we divide both sides by 2.

2x ÷ 2 = 8 ÷ 2 

Simplify.

x = 4

----------

To check your work, simply plug in the value of x into x in the original equation.

In this problem, x = 4, so plug in 4 for x.

2x + 4 = 12

2(4) + 4 = 12

Simplify.

8 + 4 = 12

12 = 12

Therefore, x = 4

First you subtract 4 from both sides.
2x+4-4=12-4
Simplify
2x=8
Divide both sides by 2 
\frac{2x}{2} and \frac{8}{2}

Final answer {x=4}

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A = \frac{1}{2} bh

a. substitute b = 6 and h = 5 into the formula

A = \frac{1}{2} × 6 × 5 = \frac{1}{2} × 30 = 15 units²

b.

Multiply both sides of the formula by 2

2A = bh, that is

bh = 2A ← divide both sides by b

h = \frac{2A}{b} = \frac{2(16)}{4} = \frac{32}{4} = 8

c

Using

bh = 2A ← divide both sides by h

b = \frac{2A}{h} = \frac{2(12)}{4} = \frac{24}{4} = 6

At your school, the building is 20 feet tall, a tree's height is 252 inches, and the flagpole is 6 yards high. Which of the thre
timurjin [86]
First, all the heights have to be converted to similar units, say feet.

Therefore,
Building= 20 feet
Tree = 252*0.083333 = 21 feet
Flagpole = 6*3 = 18 feet

The tallest of the three is the tree and thus should cast the longest shadow. However, it should be noted that at exactly noon when the sun is overhead, all the three will have equal length of shadow (that is, 0 feet long).

Answer:

  • a)  11, d) 25, e) 14, b) 25, c) 28, f) 33

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Given</h3>
  • ΔBDF, with H is the centroid of BDF, DF = 50, CF = 42, and BH = 22
<h3>To find</h3>
  • HE , DE , CH, EF,  HF, BE
<h3>Solution</h3>

As per definition of the centroid, the points C, E and G are midpoints of respective sides and the length of short and long distances from the centroid have ratio of 1/3 and 2/3 of median

  • a) HE =  1/2BH = 1/2(22) = 11
  • d) DE =  1/2DF = 1/2(50) = 25
  • e) CH =  1/3CF = 1/3(42) = 14
  • b) EF =  DE = 25
  • c) HF =  2/3CF = 2/3(42) = 28
  • f) BE =BH + HE = 22 + 11 = 33
