12(3-2x) = 84

do distributive multiplication:

12(3) + 12(-2x) = 84
36 - 24x = 84

Deduct 36 to both sides

36 - 36 - 24x = 84 - 36
-24x = 48

divide -24 to both sides

-24x / -24 = 48/-24
x = -2

To check:
12(3-2x) = 84
12(3-2(-2) = 84
12(3+4) = 84
12(7) = 84
84 = 84

A polling organization contacts 2077 adult women who are 30 to 70 years of age and live in the United States and asks whether or
vfiekz [6]

Answer: C. Adult women who are 30 to 70 years of age and live in the United States.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population in the study is the adult women who are 30 to 70 years of age and live in the United States. In statistics, a population is the whole or entire pool of items or event from which a statistical sample is drawn. A population may refer to an entire group of people, objects, events, church visits, food consumed or measurements. In the case above the population from which the sample was drawn is the adult women from age 30 to 70 that lived in the United States, no sample was drawn outside this population.

Please help me thank you. <br><br> show all work.

The length of OM is 4/3 the length of OJ, and the length of ON is 4/3 the length of OK. Thus, two pairs of sides from the triangles are proportional to each other.

Also, angle O from one of the triangles is equal to angle O of the other triangle because they are the same angle.

Thus, the two triangles are similar by SAS (side-angle-side) similarity theorem. This theorem is quite similar to the SAS congruence theorem.

To make a similarity statement, we just have to match corresponding parts when naming the triangle.

Similarity statement: ΔOJK~ΔOMN

What is the answer and work for these attached below
GrogVix [38]
-4(-5-b)=1/3(b+16) Multiply both sides by 3 to get rid of the fraction
-12(-5-b)=b+16  distribute the -12 to get rid of the parenthesis 
60+12b=b+16  get the b on the left side and non b values to the right side
11b=-44 solve for b
b=-44/11 simplify the fraction
b=-4

3/5(t+18)=-3(2-t)   multiply both sides by 5/3 to get rid of thefraction
t+18=-5(2-t)   distribute the -5 to get rid of the parenthises
t+18=-10+5t  get the t to the left side and non t values to the right
-4t=-28  solve for t
t=7

3. Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line and that passes through the given point.
prohojiy [21]
To find the perpendicular line a y- 2 = 7/3 (x + 5) you must first observe that the slope is m = 7/3, therefore, the slope of the perpendicular line put of the reciprocal, that is, m = - 3/7. So the possible options are A or C, but since the point (-4, 9) must go through the line, we find that the equation that satisfies that is option C.Therefore the perpendicular line that passes through the point (-4, 9) is C. y - 9 = -3/7 (x + 4)

Sally identified the terms of the expression 9a + 4b - 18 as 9, 4, and 18. Explain her error.
nordsb [41]

A term is a single mathematical expression. It may be a single number (positive or negative), a single variable (a letter), several variables multiplied but never added or subtracted. Some terms contain variables with a number in front of them. The number in front of a term is called a coefficient.

So the terms are 9a, 4b, and 18.

hope it helps!
