Answer:
4.05 is greater than 0.45
F(-10) means the x value in the equation is -10.
Replace x with -10 and solve:
4(-10) -12 = -40 - 12 = -52
F(-10) = -52
Answer: The number is: "2 " .
__________________________________________
Explanation:
__________________________________________
Write the expression; which is an equation, as follows:
__________________________________________
" 4x <span>− 12 = 2(-x) " ; in which "x" represents "the number for which we shall solve" .
___________________________________________
Note:
If the "number" = "x" ; the "opposite of the number" = " -x " ;
</span>___________________________________________
Rewrite as: " 4x <span>− 12 = -2x " ;
</span>_____________________________________________
→ Add "12" ; & add "2x" ; to EACH SIDE of the equation:
4x − 12 + 12 + 2x = -2x + 12 + 2x ;
to get: 6x = 12 ;
____________________________________________________
Now, divide each side of the equation by "6" ;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;
____________________________________________________
6x / 6 = 12 / 6 ;
to get: x = 2 .

Answer: The number is: "2 " .
____________________________________________________
Let us check our answer, by plugging in "2" for "x" in our original equation:
_____________________________________________________
→ " 4x − 12 = 2(-x) " ;
Let us plug in "2" for "x" ; to see if the equation holds true; that is; if both side of the equation are equal; when "x = 2" ;
→ " 4(2) − 12 = ? 2(-2) ??
→ 8 − 12 = ? -4 ? ;
→ -4 = ? -4 ?? Yes!

Let x represent the smallest angle. Then the largest is 3x, and the remaining angle is 180-4x. The problem statement tells us
.. 3x > 180 -4x > x
Adding 4x gives us
.. 7x > 180 > 5x
or
.. 36 > x > 180/7 = 25 5/7
The angles, smallest to largest, are
.. x, 4(45 -x), 3x
where 25 5/7 < x < 36
The angles could be, for example, any of ...
.. 26°, 76°, 78°
.. 30°, 60°, 90°
.. 32°, 52°, 96°
.. 35°, 40°, 105°
and an infinite number of other possibilities.
