If we call the number x, we can write an equation to solve:

6(x - 4) = 12
6 × x = 6x
6 × -4 = -24

So you get 6x - 24 = 12

6x - 24 = 12
+ 24
6x = 12
÷ 6
x = 2

And your final answer is 2, I hope this helps!

Answer:

(-1/3, 3/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

9x + 8y = 3

6x - 12y = -11

Let's solve the system by eliminating x. We need the coefficients of x to be additive inverses, so they will add to zero eliminating x. The LCM of 9 and 6 is 18. Let's multiply both sides of the first by 2 and both sides of the second equation by -3.

18x + 16y = 6

-18x + 36y = 33

The coefficients of x are 18 and -18, which add to zero. Now we add these two equations.

52y = 39

y = 39/52

y = 3/4

Now we substitute y with 3/4 in the first equation and solve for x.

9x + 8y = 3

9x + 8(3/4) = 3

9x + 6 = 3

9x = -3

x = -3/9

x = -1/3

Solution: (-1/3, 3/4)

What is the value of x?<br><br> A. 2 Units<br> B. 3 Units<br> C. 5 Units<br> D. 8 Units
Fudgin [204]

You need the formula for geometric mean for right triangles as it applies to the altitude. For us, that formula will be \frac{BD}{AD}=\frac{CD}{BD} where BD is your altitude. The formula then, filled in accordingly, would be \frac{10}{x}=\frac{4x}{10}. We cross multiply to get that 4x^2=100. Divide both sides by 4 to get x^2=25, so x = 5. Choice C is the one you want.
