Greetings!

Simplify both sides of the equation.
$-12 - 3=-51$
$-15 \neq -51$

Both sides of the equation are not equal.

Hope this helps.

8x + 2 – 6 = 4x +8 +3x

Viefleur [7K]

The first step is to combine like terms. So u would do 2-6. You then get -4 then u just bring everything else down. So now u should have this :

8x -4 = 4x + 8 + 3x

Now you do the same thing to the other side. U combine like terms which in this case are 4x and 3x. So u just do 4+3 which is 7 so now u have 7x. So now ur equation would be:

8x -4 = 7x +8

Now u do the inverse of 7 which would be -7 and u do that on both sides. So it would look like this :

8x -4 = 7x + 8
-7x. -7x

So now 7 and -7 cancel each other other and 8 -7 is 1 so now u have one x. So ur equation would now look like this:

1x -4 = 8

Now u do the inverse of negative 4 which is +4. So you would add 4 on both sides on both sides. Like shown:

1x -4 = 8
+4 +4

So u just add 8 + 4 which is 12. Now since anything times 1 is itself ur answer will be X=12

A grocery store sells Swiss cheese for $5.90 a pound. To the nearest cent, what is the cost per ounce of Swiss cheese? Round you

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

37 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a grocery store sells Swiss cheese

Rate per pound = 5.90 dollars

1 pound =16 oz,

Hence cost of 16 ounces is given as 5.90

SO cost of one ounce of Swiss cheese = $\frac{5/90}{16} =0.36875$

Or 36.875 cents

Round off to nearest cent as

37 cents since after decimal digit 8 is more than 5.

Hence answer is 37 cents

Tina is attempting to factor the expression 10x^2-13-3. In her first step, she rewrites the expression as 10x^2-10x-3x-3. Which

Setler79 [48]

ANSWER

B. The two middle coefficients add to the correct number but do not multiply to the correct number.

EXPLANATION

The given quadratic trinomial that Tina tries to factor is

$10 {x}^{2} - 13x - 3$

Comparing to

$a{x}^{2} + bx + c$

we have a=10, b=-13 and c=-3

ac=-3×10=-30

We split the middle term so that their sum is -13.

Tina use

-10,-3

to get

-10x-3x

The sum is -13x alright but the product is not -30.

B is correct.
