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!

Can someone plz help me

Answer:

x is less than or equal to negative 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

so for now we should pretend that the greater than or equal to is an equal sign, and simplify the problem to get x alone on a side

remove 5 from each side

-x/3=1/3-5

-x/3=14/3

multiply both sides by 3

-x=14

x=-14

so we can now replace the equal sign with the equal or greater to, so x is less than or equal to -14

agasfer [191]

There's a formula for that.

KE = (1/2)mv²

... = (1/2)(2000 kg)(30 m/s)²

... = 900,000 kg·m²/s²

... = 900,000 J

_____

It is helpful to know the relationship between kilograms, meters, seconds, and Newtons or Joules.

1 J = 1 kg·m²/s²
