Answer:

-1.66666666667 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

15x+12=6x-3

subtract 6x on both sides

9x+12=-3

subtract 12 on both sides

9x=-15

x=-1.6666666666667

Mutleys journey began on a boat, 2 feet above sea level. He dove down to twelve feet below sea level and then returned to the su
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Mutley would start at 2 feet above sea level or +2, he would then travel 12 feet below sea level (-12) to then return to the surface of the ocean (0).  The integers from least to greatest:  -12, 0, 2.  Visual:

-12(dive level) * * * * * * * * * * * 0(sea level) * 2(boat)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using positive and negative integers, we can determine Mutleys journey above, below and at the surface of the ocean.  The surface of the ocean represents his 'origin' or starting point, which is 0.  The boat is above the surface or +2.  When Mutley dives below the surface, he is at a negative level of the ocean.  Think of it in terms of a number line - negative numbers are to the left of 0 and positive numbers are to the right of 0.  The further we go to the left on the number line, the lower our number.  In this case, -12 would be furthest to the left, then 0, followed by 2.

ALGEBRA<br> EQUATION<br> PLEASE HELP ASAP<br><br> -3=12y-5(2y-7)
Dovator [93]

Simplify:

−3=12y−5(2y−7)

−3=12y+(−5)(2y)+(−5)(−7)(Distribute)

−3=12y+−10y+35

−3=(12y+−10y)+(35)(Combine Like Terms)

−3=2y+35

Flip the equation.

2y+35=−3

Subtract 35 from both sides.

2y+35−35=−3−35

2y=−38

Divide both sides by 2.

2y/2=−38/2

y=−19

Math brainiest NEEDED. its the bottom half and please explain your answer
Mice21 [21]
1) The expressions are not equivalent. When you expand and multiply 2(x + 3) it becomes 2x + 6. This is not equal to 3x + 5

2) They are equivalent. Again, expand and multiply the second expression. 2(3n + 4) becomes 6n + 8. This makes both sides equal.

3) They are equivalent. In the parentheses, you are adding 3 y's and a 2. This gives you 3y + 2. Now add the additional 3y that follows the closed parentheses. You'll have 6y + 2. Now both sides are equivalent.
