How do you solve -2(6x+3)=-27–5x ?

1 answer:

8 0

Hi!

Our goal is to isolate x on one side by doing the same operation on both sides.

First let's use the distribution property.
-2 x 6 = -12
-2 x 3 = -6
-12x - 6 = -27 - 5x

Add 6 to both sides
-12x - 6 + 6 = -27 + 6 - 5x
-12x = -21 - 5x

Add 5x to both sides
-12x + 5x = -21 - 5x + 5x
-7x = -21

Divide by -7 on both sides
-7x/-7 = -21/-7
x = 3

The answer is x = 3

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

Solution of equation ( x ) = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have given with an equation that is 4 ( 5x - 2 ) = 2 ( 9x + 3 ). And we are asked to solve this equation that means we have to find the value of x.

Solution : -

 $\quad \longrightarrow \: 4 ( 5x - 2 ) = 2 ( 9x + 3 )$ 

Step 1 : Removing parenthesis :

$\quad \longrightarrow \:20x - 8 = 18x + 6$

Step 2 : Adding 8 from both sides :

$\quad \longrightarrow \:20x - \cancel{ 8 }+ \cancel{8} = 18x + 6 + 8$

On further calculations we get :

$\quad \longrightarrow \:20x = 18x + 14$

Step 3 : Subtracting 18 from both sides :

$\quad \longrightarrow \:20x - 18x = \cancel{18x }+ 14 - \cancel{18}$

On further calculations we get :

$\quad \longrightarrow \:2x = 14$

Step 4 : Dividing with 2 on both sides :

$\quad \longrightarrow \: \frac{ \cancel{ 2}x}{ \cancel{2}} = \cancel{\frac{14}{2} }$

On further calculations we get :

$\quad \longrightarrow \: \blue{\boxed{ \frak{x = 7}}}$

Therefore, solution of this equation is 7 or we can say that value of this equation is 7 .

Verifying : -

We are verifying our answer by substituting value of x in given equation. So ,

4 ( 5x - 2 ) = 2 ( 9x + 3 )

4 [ 5 ( 7 ) - 2 ] = 2 [ 9 ( 7 ) + 3 ]

4 ( 35 - 2 ) = 2 ( 63 + 3 )

4 ( 33 ) = 2 ( 66 )

132 = 132

L.H.S = R.H.S

Hence, Verified.

Therefore, our value for x is correct .

A map has a scale of 2 inches : 25 miles. Chandra uses the map to find the distance from the zoo to her house. The distance on t

geniusboy [140]

Step-by-step explanation:

Turn the ratio into a fraction

2in /25 mi

You want to have miles so you can flip the fraction and mutiply to cancel out the inches

(25mi / 2in) x 5in = (25 mi x 5in) / 2in

Simplify. -10m+2m^4-13m-20m^4

Ulleksa [173]

First one:

you can add -10m and -13m but you can't add -10m and 2m^4 becuase the powers aren't the same so

when adding the like terms
look at the:
powers, (x^3 adds with x^3)
placehloder letter (x adds with x and y adds with y and so on)

-10m+2m^4-13m-20m^4
powers: m^1 and M^4
placeholders: all m

add
-10m-13m+2m^4-20m^4
-23m-18m^4

second one:
when multiplying exponents, you add with like
so if you multipliy
x^2yz^3 times x^4y^2z^2 thne you would get x^6y^3z^5
when multiply with coeficients
2x^2yz^3 times 4x^4y^2z^2=8x^6y^3z^5
so using associative property a(bc)=(ab)c
2/3 times p^4 times y^3 times y^4 times s^5 times 6 times p^2 times s^3
group like terms

(2/3 times 6) times (p^4 times p^2) times (y^3 times y^4) times (s^5 times s^3)
(4) times (p^6) times (y^7) times (s^8)
4p^6y^7s^8

On a piece of paper, use a protractor and a ruler to construct △ABC with AB=6 cm , m∠A=80° , and m∠B=50° .

Svetllana [295]

The correct answer for this question is this one:

On a piece of paper, use a protractor and a ruler to construct △ABC with AB=6 cm , m∠A=80° , and m∠B=50° .

What is AC ?

3 cm
6 cm
9 cm
12 cm

If you try to draw the triangle, it forms an isosceles triangle.
side AB has a length of 6cm. Side AB = Side AC. So the length of Side AC is also 6 cm.

Hope this helps answer your question and have a nice day ahead.
