Two ways to solve -2(4x+3)=12x-6

Mathematics

olasank [31]4 years ago

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}

Answer:

U = \frac{TE}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

T = \frac{3U}{E}

Multiply both sides by E to clear the fraction

TE = 3U ( divide both sides by 3 )

\frac{TE}{3} = U

What is the equation of this line?
QveST [7]

Answer:

y = (1/2)x - 3     Answer A is closest.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Two points on the line are (0, -3) and (4, -1).  Notice that I've intentionally chosen "nice" points whose coordinates are integers; this makes the math easier.  The point (1, -5/2) is also on the line if you want to use it, but the math's a bit more complicated.

Going from (0, -3) to (4, -1), x increases by 4 and y increases by 2.  Hence, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = 2/4, or m = 1/2.

The slope-intercept formula for the equation of a straight line is the most convenient to use here, since we can tell immediately from the graph that the y-intercept is (0, -3):

y = (1/2)x - 3

Answer A should be y = (1/2)x - 3 for improved legibility.  1 2 x is not correct as a way to express (1/2)x.

Suppose that Paolo and Sharon are the only consumers of ice cream cones in a particular market. The following table shows their monthly demand schedules: Price Paolo’s Quantity Demanded Sharon’s Quantity Demanded (Dollars per cone) (Cones) (Cones) 1 8 16 2 5 12 3 3 8 4 1 6 5 0 4 On the following graph, plot Paolo’s demand for ice cream cones using the green points (triangle symbol). Next, plot Sharon’s demand for ice cream cones using the purple points (diamond symbol). Finally, plot the market demand for ice cream cones using the blue points (circle symbol). Note: Line segments will automatically connect the points. Remember to plot from left to right. Paolo’s Demand Sharon’s Demand Market Demand 0 4 8 12 16 20 24 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 PRICE (Dollars per cone) QUANTITY (Cones)
