Solve for x. 6(x - 1) = 9(x + 2) x = -8 X = -3 X = 3 x = 8

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

$x=-8$

Step-by-step explanation:

$6\left(x-1\right)=9\left(x+2\right)\\\mathrm{Expand\:}6\left(x-1\right):\quad 6x-6\\6\left(x-1\right)\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:distributive\:law}:\quad \:a\left(b-c\right)=ab-ac\\a=6,\:b=x,\:c=1\\=6x-6\cdot \:1\\\mathrm{Expand\:}9\left(x+2\right):\quad 9x+18\\9\left(x+2\right)\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:distributive\:law}:\quad \:a\left(b+c\right)=ab+ac\\a=9,\:b=x,\:c=2\\=9x+9\cdot \:2\\\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:9\cdot \:2=18\\=9x+18\\6x-6=9x+18\\\mathrm{Add\:}6\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}$

$6x-6+6=9x+18+6\\Simplify\\6x=9x+24\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}9x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\6x-9x=9x+24-9x\\Simplify\\-3x=24\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-3\\\frac{-3x}{-3}=\frac{24}{-3}\\Simplify\\\frac{-3x}{-3}=\frac{24}{-3}\\\mathrm{Simplify\:}\frac{-3x}{-3}:\quad x\\\frac{-3x}{-3}\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{-a}{-b}=\frac{a}{b}\\=\frac{3x}{3}\\\mathrm{Divide\:the\:numbers:}\:\frac{3}{3}=1\\=x\\\mathrm{Simplify\:}\frac{24}{-3}:\quad -8\\\frac{24}{-3}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{a}{-b}=-\frac{a}{b}\\=-\frac{24}{3}\\\mathrm{Divide\:the\:numbers:}\:\frac{24}{3}=8\\=-8\\$

The soccer club has planned a trip to a tournament. The cost of the van is $192. When 2 students who are not members of the club

Anon25 [30]

Let
N--------> members of the club

we know that
($192/(N+2)=3.20
192=(N+2)*3.20
3.20*N+6.40=192
3.20*N=192-6.40
N=185.60/3.20
N=58

the answer is
58

A baseball player has 39 hits in 134 times at bat. how many hits must he get in the next 46 times at bat to finish the year with

faust18 [17]

Answer:

He must get 33 hits in his next 46 times at bat to finish the year with a .400 batting average

Step-by-step explanation:

The player has already batted 134 times and will still bat 46 times. So in the end of the year, he is going to have 134 + 46 = 180 at bats.

How many hits does he need to have to hit .400?

This is 40% of 180, which is 0.4*180 = 72.

He has already 39 hits, so in his next 46 at bats, he will need 72 - 39 = 33 hits.
