I believe the answer is 3.
If you would like me to show my work please reply saying so.
Sorry if I'm wrong, but I hope this helps.

4(3x - 6) +15 = 27
Distributive Property
12x + -24 + 15 = 27
Add the two constants (numbers without variables)
12x + -9 = 27
Because 9 is negative, add 9 to both sides.
12x = 36
Divide both sides by the coefficient (number with x)
x = 3

To solve this we first have to distribute the 4 to the inside of the parentheses, which means multiply everything inside of it by 4

So the equation goes from, 4(3x-6)+15=27
to 12x-24+15=27

We'll then isolate x, we'll add 24 to each side, making the equation
12x+15=51

After this we'll subtract 15 from each side, making the equation
12x=36

Then to get x completely alone, we'll divide each side by 12


Leaving us with the equation
x=3

We can double check this by plugging 3 into the x value. Which gives us the equation

4(3×3- 6) + 15 = 27 Which is true


So the solution to the following equation is 3

The area of a rectangle is 42 square feet.
Alchen [17]

Answer:

26 ft and 46 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The prime  factors of 42 are 2 * 3 * 7.

Possible lengths and widths  are:

L = 7, W = 6 giving a perimeter of  2*7 + 2*6 = 26 ft.

L = 14 , W = 3  giving perimeter = 34 ft.

L = 21, W = 2 giving perimeter = 46 ft.

There are many systems of equation that will satisfy the requirement for Part A.
an example is y≤(1/4)x-3 and y≥(-1/2)x-6
y≥(-1/2)x-6 goes through the point (0,-6) and (-2, -5), the shaded area is above the line. all the points fall in the shaded area, but
y≤(1/4)x-3 goes through the points (0,-3) and (4,-2), the shaded area is below the line, only A and E are in the shaded area. 
only A and E satisfy both inequality, in the overlapping shaded area.

 
Part B. to verify, put the coordinates of A (-3,-4) and E(5,-4) in both inequalities to see if they will make the inequalities true. 
 for y≤(1/4)x-3: -4≤(1/4)(-3)-3
-4≤-3&3/4 This is valid.
For y≥(-1/2)x-6: -4≥(-1/2)(-3)-6
-4≥-4&1/3 this is valid as well. So Yes, A satisfies both inequalities. 
Do the same for point E (5,-4)

Part C: the line y<-2x+4 is a dotted line going through (0,4) and (-2,0)
the shaded area is below the line
farms A, B, and D are in this shaded area.

How to find the equation of a vertical line that passes through two points?
tamaranim1 [39]
First, you need to know what equation form you need to write: point slope, slope-intercept, etc. Considering this case, you need to know the slope, then you must know the y-intercept, and and write like this: ( my example here is for the SLOPE- INTERCEPT form) y=slope times X + y-intercept. 
Hope it helps :D
