Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

8(2x-6)=96

2x=12+6

2x=18

x=18/2

x=9

Hello, thanks for usin Brainly. :)

Let's solve by using distributive property.

8(2x-6)=96

16x-6=96

16x-48=96

     +48 +48

16x = 144

x = 9

First, what we did was do 8 x 2 & 6 x 8.

Then, we got 16x-6=96.

We want to get X by itself, therefore we need to get rid of -48, so we 48 to all of our terms.

Then our equation should look like 16x = 144.

Divide and get 9!

Therefore, x = 9.

Wait, how can we be sure?

Let's check our answer.

Let's allow our x value to be 9.

Now, our equation should look like:

8(2(9)-6=96

Follow the PEMDAS rule.

8(18-6)=96

8(12)=96

8 times 12 is 96.

96 = 96 Done!

Therefore, we know our answer is correct.

A car rental firm has 440 cars. Sixty-three of these cars have defective turn signals and 39 have defective tires. (Enter your p
pychu [463]

Answer:

The probability is 0.857

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

There is a total of 440 cars

There are 63 cars with defective turn signals

There are 39 with defective tires.

Now we want to find the probability that a randomly selected car does not have defective turn signals.

If all the cars have the same probability of being selected, this probability will be equal to the quotient between the number of cars that do not have defective turn signals and the total number of cars.

We know that the total number of cars is 440

And 63 of these have defective turn signals, then the rest don't.

440 - 63 = 377 cars do not have defective turn signals.

Then the probability is:

P = 377/440 = 0.857

I think the answer would be 112cm.

To find the area of the triangle you need to do basexheight divided by 2.
8x10 divided by 2 = 40

To find the area of the rectangle
12x6=72

40+72= 112cm

I’m not sure if it’s right but I hope this helps.
