Solve for x 2(x-2)=6

Solve for x

2(x - 2) = 6

First distribute 2 to both x and -2

2(x) = 2x
2(-2) = -4

2x - 4 = 6

Next, isolate the x. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. Add 4 to both sides

2x - 4 (+4) = 6 (+4)

2x = 6 + 4

2x = 10

Finally, to isolate the x, divide 2 from both sides

2x/2 = 10/2

x = 10/2

x = 5

5 is your answer for x

hope this helps

Hi!

First, let's use the distribution property.

To do that, multiply the values in the parentheses by the number outside of the parentheses. 
2 · x = 2x
2 · -2 = -4
2x - 4 = 6

Remember that whatever we do to the equation we have to do it to both sides. 

We need to isolate x on one side. So first let's add 4 to both sides.
2x - 4 + 4 = 6 + 4
2x = 10
Divide by 2 on both sides.
2x/2 = 10/2
x = 5

The answer is x = 5

Hope this helps! :)

Harrizon [31]
Jason runs the same distance each day. In one 7-day period he ran 40 1/4 miles. He knows that there is a proportional relationship between n, the number of days, and t, the total distance he runs. Tell whether each statement is True or False.
A. The relationship can be expressed as n=5.25t. True or False
B. The graph of the equation is a straight line through (0,0). True or False
C. The unit rate is 5.75. True or False

Use the diagram of the right triangle above and round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
Svetlanka [38]

Option a: 17.32 \ {m} is the length of b

Explanation:

The angle of B is \angle B=60^{\circ} and a=10 \ m

We need to determine the length of b.

First, let us determine the angle of A.

Since, ABC is a triangle, then all the angles add up to 180°

Thus, we have,

\angle A+\angle B+\angle C=180^{\circ}

\angle A+60^{\circ}+90^{\circ}=180^{\circ}

       \angle A+150^{\circ}=180^{\circ}

                   \angle A=30^{\circ}

Thus, the angle of A is \angle A=30^{\circ}

Now, we shall determine the length of b using the sine law formula.

The formula for sine law is given by,

\frac{a}{\sin A}=\frac{b}{\sin B}

where a=10 \ m , \angle A=30^{\circ} , \angle B=60^{\circ}

Thus, we have,

\frac{10}{\sin 30}=\frac{b}{\sin 60}

Simplifying, we get,

\frac{10}{0.5}=\frac{b}{0.866}

Multiplying both sides by 0.866, we get,

\frac{10\times0.866}{0.5}=b

Multiplying the numerator, we have,

\frac{8.66}{0.5}=b

Dividing, we get,

17.32=b

Thus, the length of b is b=17.32 \ m

Hence, Option a is the correct answer.

What is the total surface area of a cylindrical tank having
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Could be C) or D) None of these, 29688.05cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Did the question to round off to any numbers?

Formula for cylinder's T.S.A: 2 π r h + 2 π r^2

Diameter= 2 x radius

Radius = 70cm / 2 = 35cm

Height -> need to convert m to cm -> 100cm

Substitute these values into the formula:

2 x π  x 35 x 100 + 2 x π x (35)^2 = 29688.05cm^2
