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

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 6 numbers on a die. You have a 1/6 chance of rolling a 3 and a 1/6 chance of rolling a 4. 1/6 times 1/6 = 1/36.

This is a linear equation/ graph quiz ! please help , my teacher makes no sense to me!
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

(8,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 2y = 30

coordinates are (x,y) so you plug in 8 for x and solve for y

5(8) - 2y = 30

40 - 2y = 30

subtract 40 from both sides to isolate y

-2y = -10

divide both sides by -2 to isolate y

y = 5

There are 100 balloons in total the ratio between the yellow and blue balloons is 8 to 12 how many are yellow
Virty [35]

If you have 8 yellow balloons for every 12 blue balloons, then if you have 20 balloons in total, 8 out of 20 of those balloons will be yellow. Then you can set up this ratio.

Then, you can use either cross multiplication or multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number to help solve for x. Personally, I prefer cross multiplication.

Finally, solve for x and if you had 100 balloons, you will have 40 yellow balloons.
