Answer:

12

Step-by-step equation:

2x + 8 = 3x - 4

2x = 3x - 4 - 8

2x = 3x - 12

2x - 3x = -12

-1x = -12

x = -12 / -1

x = 12



Proof:

2(12) + 8 = 3(12) - 4

24 + 8 = 3(12) - 4

24 + 8 = 36 - 4

32 = 36 - 5

32 = 32 → both sides of the equation are equal, our answer is correct






Hope it helped,

Answer: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 8 = 3x - 4

In order to solve for x, we must isolate x. We can do this by moving all of the numbers with "x" in it to the left side of the equal side, and move everything else to the right of it!

Let's start off by subtracting 8 from both sides. Remember : what you do to one side, you must do it to the other.

2x + 8 - 8 = 3x - 4 - 8

Simplify!

2x = 3x - 12

Now, let's subtract 3x from both sides.

2x - 3x = 3x - 12 - 3x

Simplify!

-x = -12

Divide both sides by -1.

-x ÷ -1 = -12 ÷ -1

Simplify.

x = 12

Determine the area of the green sector. A) 5 4 π in2 B) 57 8 π in2 C) 19 4 π in2 D) 19 24 π in2
Alex_Xolod [135]
the complete question in the attached figure

we know that
r=3 in
A=π*r²

the area of ​​the complete circle-------> π*3²=9π in²
the green sector=360°-75°=285°
if 9π in²--------------------------> corresponds a 360°
  X---------------------------------> 285°
X=285*9π/360=(285/40)*π---> [(3*5*19)/(8.5)]*π=[(3*19)/(8)]*π=(57/8)*π in²

the answer is (57/8)*π in²  (the option B)
