olasank [31]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

\huge\boxed{x=0}

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(4x+3)=12x-6\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-2)}\\\\4x+3=-6x+3\qquad\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\\\\4x=-6x\qquad\text{add}\ 6x\ \text{to both sides}\\\\10x=0\qquad\text{divide both sides by 10}\\\\\boxed{x=0}\\\\=================================

-2(4x+3)=12x-6\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\(-2)(4x)+(-2)(3)=12x-6\\\\-8x-6=12x-6\qquad\text{add 6 to both sides}\\\\-8x=12x\qquad\text{subtract}\ 12x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\-20x=0\qquad\text{divide both sides by}\ (-20)\\\\\boxed{x=0}

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

12%

Step-by-step explanation:

let x represent the actual number of members last year.

current members = 675 and with an increment of 13% over previous year

to find the increment

(675 - x) / x = 0.13

675 - x = 0.13x

collect the like terms

675 = 0.13x + x

675 = 1.13 x

x = approx 597 members were there last year

its hope to increase by the same number next year

percent increase = 675 - 597 / 675 = 78 / 675 = 0.12 = 12%

The sum of the roots of 2x 2 + 8x - 3 = 0 is<br><br> -3/2<br> 3/2<br> -4<br> 4
Sophie [7]

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

From the qquadratic formula

x1 = [ -b +√(b² - 4ac) ] / 2a

x2 = [ -b -√(b² - 4ac) ] / 2a

When added together the ± square root cancels out leaving

(-b/2a) + (-b/2a) = -b/a

For 2x² + 8x -3 = 0

-b/a = -8/2

-b/a = -4
