Answer:

$x-12$

Step-by-step explanation:

First open the brackets

$=(4x-6)-(3x+6)\\\\\\=4x-6-3x-6$

Then collect the like terms

$4x-3x-6-6$

Solve the like terms

$4x-3x=x\\\\\\-6-6=-12\\\\\\=x-12$

The simplified form is

$x-12$

Are the lines with equations 2x -3y = 8 and -x + 4y=2 parallel, perpendicular, or neither

skad [1K]

Answer:

neither

Step-by-step explanation:

First, arrange the equations to fit the y=mx + b format

1. 2x - 3y = 8

y = -2/3x - 8/3

2. -x + 4y = 2

y = 1/4x + 1/2

Equations that are parallel have the same slope.

In perpendicular equations, one slope would be x and the other would be -1/x (negative reciprocal)

The equations are neither parallel nor perpendicular, so neither.

A survey was given to 339 people asking whether people like dogs and/or cats.

Answer:

80.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $C$ be the set of people who like cats and $D$ the set of people who like dogs. Under the cardinality theorem you have

n(CUD) = n(C) + n(D) - n(CnD)[/tex], isolating the $(C$ ∩ $(D$ , you have n $(C$ ∩ $(D$ = n(C) + n(D) - $(C$ ∪ $.As a total of 339 individuals, and 88 are those who do not like cats or dogs, then 251 of them are those who like cats or dogs. Then, n[tex](C$ ∩ $(D$ $= 190 +141 -251 = 80$
