Answer:
x = 13/3 or 4.3 repeating (4.333333.....)
Explanation:
3x + 2(4x - 6) = 8x + 1
3x + 8x - 12 = 8x + 1 (expand using distributive property)
11x - 12 = 8x + 1 (combine like terms)
11x - 12 + 12 = 8x + 1 + 12 (add 12 to both sides)
11x = 8x + 13 (simplify)
11x - 8x = 8x - 8x + 13 (subtract 8x from both sides)
3x = 13 (simplify)
3x/3 = 13/3 (divide both sides by 3)
x = 13/3 or 4.3 repeating (4.333333.....)
Answer:
He wrung as much water out of the towel as he could before hanging it up.
When she heard the news, she wrung her hands in frustration.
Explanation:
As given in the question, the definitions of the two words "rung" and "wrung" are different. While "rung" is a noun, the word "wrung" is a verb, which clearly shows their difference easily.
Now, the correct use of the verb "wrung" is found in sentences 1 and 2. In sentence 1, the transitive verb is used to refer to the act of extracting, squeezing out the excess water from the towel. Sentence 2 refers to the act of inflicting pain in oneself, like "she wrung her hands in frustration".
Thus, the correct answers are
<em>He wrung as much water out of the towel as he could before hanging it up.
</em>
<em>When she heard the news, she wrung her hands in frustration.</em>
