$\huge\boxed{x=-\frac{11}{2}}$

Start by distributing the $-3$ to the $(3+x)$ . $-3(3) + (-3)(x) + (x-6) = -4$

Multiply and simplify. $-9-3x+(x-6)=-4$

Rearrange the terms. $-3x+x-9-6=-4$

Combine like terms. $-2x-15=-4$

Add $15$ on both sides. $-2x=11$

Divide both sides of the equation by $-2$ . $x=\boxed{-\frac{11}{2}}$

$\sqrt{3}x^2+10x+7\sqrt{3}=0\\\\\sqrt3(x^2+\dfrac{10x}{\sqrt{3}}+7)=0\\\\x^2+\dfrac{10x}{\sqrt{3}}+7=0\\\\x^2+\dfrac{10x}{\sqrt{3}}+\dfrac{25}{3}-\dfrac{25}{3} +7=0\\\\(x+\dfrac{5}{\sqrt{3}})^2 = \dfrac{4}{3}\\\\|x+\dfrac{5}{\sqrt{3}}| = \dfrac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\\\\x_1 = \dfrac{2}{\sqrt{3}}-\dfrac{5}{\sqrt{3}} = -\dfrac{3}{\sqrt{3}} = -\sqrt{3}\\\\x_2 = -\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{3}}-\dfrac{5}{\sqrt{3}} = \dfrac{-7}{\sqrt{3}} = -\dfrac{-7\sqrt{3}}{3}$

Can any help me with this question

Y_Kistochka [10]

Ok...there are 6 days in the week that end in a y: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Saturday is one out of the 6, so it's 1/6....If they want it as a percent, then divide 1 by 6, and multiply it by 100.

Hope I helped!

-4x - 24 = 8<br><br> Please help & explain how you got to the answer

Vlad [161]

-4x-24=8
So you move the -24 to the other side.
-4x=32
Divide both sides by -4.
x=-8

How do I know when I need to use SSS or SAS in geometry? I'm having a lot of trouble understanding the difference and when to us

Pavel [41]

SSS = Side-Side-Side
If three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle then the triangles are congruent.

SAS = Side-Angle-Side
If two sides and the included angle are equal to the corresponding parts of another triangle then the triangles are congruent.'
The angle must be formed by the two pairs of congruent, corresponding sides of the triangles. If the angles are not formed by the two sides that are congruent and corresponding to the other triangle's parts then you cannot use the SAS postulate.

you will notice that the main difference between the two postulates is that the SAS consists of an angle and the SSS does not.

hope this helps :)

You decide to put $100 in a saving account to save for a $3000 down payment on a new car. if the account has an interest rate of

valkas [14]

Hi there
The formula is
A=p (1+r/k)^kt
A future value 3000
P present value 100
R interest rate 0.02
K compounded monthly 12
T time?
We need to solve for t
T=[log (A/p)÷log (1+r/k)]÷k
T=(log(3,000÷100)÷log(1+0.02÷12))÷12
T=170.202 years

So it's a
