96 = -6 * (-4 - 3y) <== It's easiest to solve when the y is on the right
↓
-6 * (-4 - 3y) = 96 <== Multiply the -6 by everything inside the
parentheses
<span>↓</span>
24 + 18y = 96 <== Subtract the 24 from both sides
↓
18y = 72 <== Divide both sides by 18
↓
y = 4
The correct answer is choice B. y = 4.
Hope that helped =)
Solve the porportions. First, cross multiply
7/(x - 4) = 42/12
(7/(x-4))(x-4)(12) = (42/12)(12)(x-4)
7(12) = 42(x-4)
Simplify. (remember to distribute the 42 to both x and -4
84 = 42x - 168
Isolate the x. First add 168 to both sides
84 (+168) = 42x - 168 (+168)
42x = 84 + 168
42x = 252
Finally, isolate the x by dividing 42 from both sides
42x/42 = 252/42
x = 252/42
x = 6
6 is your answer
hope this helps
The answer to your problem is 10 oz

Answer:
{-6, 12}
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that you meant (1/3), then you have:
(1/3)|3x - 9| - 5 = 4
First, let's combine the -5 and the +4:
(1/3)|3x - 9| = 9
Next, multipy both sides by 3 to eliminate the fraction 1/3:
|3x - 9| = 27
This absolute value equation has two separate parts:
3x - 9 = 27, and
-(3x - 9) = 27.
In the first case, we have x - 3 = 9, or x = 12.
In the second case, we have -3x + 9 = 27, or -3x = 18, or x = -6.
The solution set is {-6, 12}.
