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! :)

A dime is worth 10 pennis.Marley brought 290 pennis to the bank . How many dimes did marley get?
Julli [10]
ok so 10 pennis is 1 dime which is 10 cents ok lets go to the next number 20 pennis will be 2 dimes because its the same cents then 30 pennis will be 3 and 40 will be 4 so just divide 10 into the number of pennis or in this case you have a easy out you can just use the numbers infront of the zero since you are talking about dimes.
It would even be the same if you had 2,300 pennis you would have 230 dimes

A stamp has the Length of 1/2 cm and a width of 1 1/2 is the area of the stamps
avanturin [10]

Answer:

Area =  \frac{3}{4} cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length =\frac{1}{2}\ cm

Width = 1\frac{1}{2}\ cm

Required

Determine the Area

Area is calculated as follows

Area = Length * Width

Substitute values for Length and Width

Area = \frac{1}{2} * 1\frac{1}{2}

Convert mixed fraction

Area = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{3}{2}

Area =  \frac{3}{4}

Hence, the area is

Area =  \frac{3}{4} cm^2

The Flip-Flop-Alot Company makes and sells flip-flops. They have one linear function that represents the cost of producing flip-
Brums [2.3K]
If we let the number of flip-flops be x in the equation and that the cost would be y ( in terms of x) and the income would be z ( in terms of x), these equations will likely intersect each other during breakeven. That is, when the total revenue that the company will gain from sales of the flip-flops just be equal with the total cost.

A rectangle is twice as long as it is wide. if its length is increase by 4 cm and its width is decreased by 3 cm, the new rectan
strojnjashka [21]
Now the width is w.
It's twice as long as wide, so now the length is 2w.

If the length is increased by 4 cm, the length will be 2w + 4.
The width is decreased by 3 cm, so the width will be w - 3.

The are of the new rectangle is 100 cm^2.

area = length * width

area = (2w + 4)(w - 3)

The area of the new rectangle is 100, so we get

(2w + 4)((w - 3) = 100

2w^2 - 6w + 4w - 12 = 100

2w^2 - 2w - 112 = 0

w^2 - w - 56 = 0

(w - 8)(w + 7) = 0

w - 8 = 0   or   w + 7 = 0

w = 8   or   w = -7

A width cannot be negative, so discard w = -7.

w = 8

The width is 8 cm.
The length is twice the width, so the length is 16 cm.
