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

Find an equation of variation in which y varies directly as x and y = 12 when x = 6
Margarita [4]
Direct variation:-

y = kx where k is a constant

y=12 when x=6 so we have:-

12 = k*6

k = 12/6 = 2

so our equation of variation is  y = 2x Answer

Find the arc length of the semicircle. Either enter an exact answer in terms of π or use 3.14 for π and enter your answer as a d
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the length of an arc is s = rФ.

Thus, the arc length of a semicircle is S = rФ/2.

Here the radius is 5 (half the diameter), and so in this case the arc length is

S = (5 units)π/2, or S = (5/2)(3.14) units, or approximately S = 7.85 units

A grocer has two kinds of tea: one selling for 80 cents a pound and the other selling for 60 cents a pound. How many pounds of e
goblinko [34]

Answer:

35 pounds of tea for 80 cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation::

value + value = value

80x + 60(50-x) = 74*50  

80x + 60*50 - 60x = 74*50  

20x = 14*50

x = 35 lbs (amt. of 80 cent tea to use)

50-x = 15 lbs (amt. of 60 cent tean to use)
