Answer: The number is 0.75 or 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
let x = the number.
Now set up an equation: The product of a number (x) and -4 = -4x. So -4x is subtracted from the number - x. x-(-4x)
Then, that equals 3 more than the number (x) = x+3
So the equation is x-(-4x)=x+3.
Then, solve the equation!
x-(-4x)=x+3
x+4x=x+3 (Distribute the negative to the parentheses)
5x=x+3 (Combine like terms)
4x=3 (Get the Xs on one side by subtracting x from both sides)
x=0.75 or 3/4 (divide by the coefficiant, 4, on both sides)
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
as there are 12 red spheres there are 12*4 red cubes (48) add them ,60.Then 60/2 to find blue shapes ,30, then add the 2 and 3 to make 5 after that do 30/5 = 6 then multiply by 3
You solve for x
start by expanding the (3x-7)²
12 = 2(3x - 7)(3x - 7) + 4
12 = 2(9x² - 42x + 49) + 4
multiply the 2 through
12 = 18x² - 84x + 98 + 4
combine all like terms, set equal to zero
18x² - 84x + 102 - 12 = 0
18x² - 84x + 90 = 0
use the quadratic equation

Where
a = 18
b = -84
c = 90
then x = 3 and 5/3
Yes, because both triangles are divisible by a certain number to equal to each side of each triangle.
