Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(5 x)/6 + 4 = x + 2

Put each term in (5 x)/6 + 4 over the common denominator 6: (5 x)/6 + 4 = (5 x)/6 + 24/6:

(5 x)/6 + 24/6 = x + 2

(5 x)/6 + 24/6 = (5 x + 24)/6:

(5 x + 24)/6 = x + 2

Multiply both sides by 6:

(6 (5 x + 24))/6 = 6 (x + 2)

(6 (5 x + 24))/6 = 6/6×(5 x + 24) = 5 x + 24:

5 x + 24 = 6 (x + 2)

Expand out terms of the right hand side:

5 x + 24 = 6 x + 12

Subtract 6 x from both sides:

(5 x - 6 x) + 24 = (6 x - 6 x) + 12

5 x - 6 x = -x:

-x + 24 = (6 x - 6 x) + 12

6 x - 6 x = 0:

24 - x = 12

Subtract 24 from both sides:

(24 - 24) - x = 12 - 24

24 - 24 = 0:

-x = 12 - 24

12 - 24 = -12:

-x = -12

Multiply both sides of -x = -12 by -1:

(-x)/(-1) = 12

(-1)/(-1) = 1:

Answer:  x = 12

1. -88 = -3(4m + 5) - (1 - 3m)​
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

m=8

Step-by-step explanation:

-88=-3(4m+5)-(1-3m)

-88=-12m-15-(1-3m)   <- Distributive Property

-88=-12m-15-1+3m  <- Open () if there is a negative negative the symbol equals positive

-88=-9m-16    <- Simplify

0=-9m+72   <- Add 88 to both sides

9m = 72 <- Add 9m to both sides

9m = 72

/9      /9

m=8

Need Help on Both of these, Will give 50 Points to answerer:

Part A: Scatter plot with best-fit line attached. You'll find the line to have equation (approximately)

y=51.34+3.98x

The positive slope suggests that test scores and study time are directly are proportional.

Part B: Same as in a previous question you had posted. Pick two points on the provided line and compute the slope as best you can. For example, I might pick (2, 30) and (4, 40), which gives a slope of

\dfrac{40-30}{4-2}=5

and assuming the line passes through (2, 30) exactly, it would have equation

y-2=5(x-30)\implies y=5x-148
