Answer:

x = 9.9

Step-by-step explanation:

12x - 81-2 = 16- 2x

first, combine like terms so,

-81 - 2= -83

12x - 83 = 16 - 2x

now subtract 16 on both sides

12x - 83(-16) = 16(-16) - 2x

12x -99 = -2x

now subtract 12 on both sides

12x (-12) = 99 - 2x (-2)

10x = -99

now divide 10 on both sides

x = 9.9

Which test point holds true for 3/2y - 2x>1?
ANTONII [103]
There exists a question that instead of >, the symbol used is ≥. Substitute the value of abscissas and ordinates of the points to x and y, respectively.

A. (1/4, 1)      (3/2)(1) - 2(1/4) = 1              TRUE
B. (4, 1)         (3/2)(1) - 2(4) = -6.5             FALSE
C. (1, 1/4)      (3/2)(1/4) - 2(1) = -1.625      FALSE
D. (1, 0)         (3/2)(0) - (2)(1) = -2              FALSE
E (1/4, 3/4)    (3/2)(3/4) - (2)(1/4) = 0.625  FALSE

Thus, the answer is letter A.

Please need help for 1-9
Pani-rosa [81]
1-9 uses the distributive property

The distributive just breaks the quantity apart.
a( b + c) = ab + ac
Multiply a times each number in the parentheses.

Now using real numbers for #1: 3(2x - 5)
Multiply 3 times 2x, = 6x
Now multiply 3 times -5 = -15

Now you put the two terms you got and you get 6x - 15

james wants to find out the favorite movie of students in his school. Which method would give James the BEST results? A)survey e
kolezko [41]

Answer:

D) Survey 100 randomly selected students from the school

Step-by-step explanation:

This gives an equal chance to everybody, so it's not biased and it is of everybody that goes to his school. A is only the people on the football team so its not students in his school. Walking to school has nothing to do with the survey topic and so thats also definitely not it. C again doesn't give a fair chance to everybody, so it would be possible to get an accurate, unbiased answer. D is definitely your answer!

I hope that helps!!

Have an awesome day! :)
