2(x-3)-12 = -4 How do I solve this equations

Mathematics
1 answer:
deff fn [24]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x= 7

Step-by-step explanation:

1st step: Multiply the factor (outside number) with the numbers and variable(s) in the box. This results in 2(x-3) = 2x-6

2nd Step: continue the rest of the equation since there are no more brackets left so 2x-6-12=-4

3rd Step: send -12 to the other side of the equation (side changes sign changes) so it will become 2x-6=-4+12    (You are actually supposed to make the variable alone on one side of the equation so that you would be able to calculate its value)

4th step: 2x-6=8 ---> send -6 to the other side as well which will then result in 2x=14

5th step: since 2 is being multiplied by x, when you send it to the other side (to make x alone) you will divide 14 by 2 ( sign of 2 changes from multiplication to division)

Final Step: x=7

Dylan bought 3 identical shirts online for a total cost of $71.83 including a flat rate of $7.99 for shipping. Drag numbers to c
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

3s + 7.99 = 71.83

Step-by-step explanation:

Yeah, algebra sure confused me the first time I took it. I had a much more patient and engaging teacher the second time!

How would we find out in real life how much each shirt cost? We'd subtract 7.99 from 71.83 and divide the difference by 3, right??

Let's work that backward. Let's say a shirt cost $6. Three would cost $3(6), or $18. Since each shirt costs $s, our price for 3 shirts is $3s. We have to add shipping to get a total, which we are given. When writing an equation, we leave out labels like $ or meters or books or whatever.

Solve for x:
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Often, the simplest way to solve "ax2 + bx + c = 0" for the value of x is to factor the quadratic, set each factor equal to zero, and then solve each factor. But sometimes the quadratic is too messy, or it doesn't factor at all, or you just don't feel like factoring. While factoring may not always be successful, the Quadratic Formula can always find the solution.

The Quadratic Formula uses the "a", "b", and "c" from "ax2 + bx + c", where "a", "b", and "c" are just numbers; they are the "numerical coefficients" of the quadratic equation they've given you to solve.
