Answer:

B. Subtract 12 from both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

You must be confused on why I say this. But hold tight, I have an explanation.

Because 12 is on the front side of the minus sign, it is actually positive. That means you must subtract it from both sides.

But what about 4x? Well, it is actually negative! Because the 12 is reduced to zero, the equation is technically 0 - 4x = 42. However, we just remove the 0 to make -4x = 42.

By the way, the fully solved equation is: x = -10.5 or x = -10 1/2

Hope this helps!

Answer:

C and E

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable "y" has to be by itself so here is the breakdown to that:

-3x + 6y + 5 = - 7

    6y + 6 = 3x - 7

       6y = 3x - 7 - 6

    6y = 3x - 12

         6y/6 = 3x/6 - 12/6

y = 1/2 x - 2

Then you would graph -2 --> (0, -2) and use 1/2 to navigate upwards to get your answers.

How is the two point formula used to find the equation of a line when 2 points are known?
natulia [17]
To find the slope of a line, you would find the change in y over the change in x, where the rise of a slope is defined by the y coordinate and the run of the slope is defined by x.

Two sides of a right triangle are equal to 3m and 4m. Find the length of the third side. (Two cases)
Romashka [77]
We will use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve both cases.   
Case 1: Given sides are both legs of the triangle:  
3^2 + 4^2 = c^2 
9 + 16 = 25 = c^2
 c = 5  
Case 2: Given sides are one leg and the hypotenuse:
 a^2 + 3^2 = 4^2
 a^2 = 4^2 - 3^2 = 16 - 9 = 7
 a^2 = 7^(1/2)  
 The third side of the given right triangle could be five or the square root of seven.
