answer : 12x + 18 - 9x

step by step equation

first thing you want to do is 3 x 4x = 12x

the second thing you want to do is 3 x 6 = 18

the third thing you want to do is keep the 9x the same because it isn't in the parentheses therefore isn't getting affected by the 3 in the very front

the fourth thing you do is add them all up to get your answer: 12x + 18 - 9x !

i hope this helped and i hope you have a great day :) !!

Hi there!

To simplify this equation we first need to distribute.

(3)(4x) + (3)(6) + - 9x
= 12x +18 + - 9x

Next, combine like terms.

= 12x + 18 + - 9x
= (12x + - 9x) + (18)
= 3x + 18

In simplified form, 3 (4x + 6) - 9x is 3x + 18.

Hope this helps!

Find the missing side lengths

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

X = 18

Y = 9√3

Step-by-step explanation:

use sin equation for right angle triangle

The sine of the angle

= ( the length of the opposite side ÷ the length of the hypotenuse.)

according to this question,

sin 30 = 9 / X

1/2 = 9 / X

X = 18

use cosine to find y

The cosine of the angle

= (the length of the adjacent side ÷ the length of the hypotenuse.)

cos 30 = y/x

√3/2 = y/ 18

y = 9 ✓3

bixtya [17]

Answer:

20 rands/kg

130,000 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The equilibrium quantity and price are the solution to the system of equations ...

p = 120 -0.7q

p = 3 + 0.2q

Setting these equal, we get ...

0.2q +3 = p = -0.7q +120

0.9q = 117 . . . . . . . add 0.7q-3 to both sides

q = 117/0.9 = 130

p = 3 +0.2·130 = 29

The equilibrium price of maize meal is 29 rands per kg; the market equilibrium quantity is 130,000 kg.
