Answer:

x = 27/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

-12 = -5(x - 3)

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

  1. Distribute -5: -12 = -5x + 15
  2. Subtract 15 on both sides: -27 = -5x
  3. Divide both sides by -5: x = 27/5

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

-12 = -5(27/5 - 3)

-12 = -5(12/5)

-12 = -12

2. In the ratio of 3:2:2, three brothers invested a total of 249,000 to open a store. Find each
GaryK [48]

Answer:

$106,714.29

$71,142.86

$71,142.86

Step-by-step explanation:

There's a total of 7 pieces that they invested (3 + 2 + 2 = 7) so you can do 249,000 / 7 to find what each piece was worth.

249000/7 = about 35571.43

(you always have to round money to 2 decimal places)

Then the amount each brother spent would be:

3 * 35571.43 = 106714.29

2 * 35571.43 = 71142.86

2 * 35571.43 = 71142.86

What is the solution to the equation StartFraction y Over y minus 4 EndFraction minus StartFraction 4 Over y + 4 EndFraction = S
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

(y/y - 4) - (4/y + 4) = 32/y^2 - 16

Note y^2 - 16 = (y - 4 ) × (y + 4)

Multiplying the equation; both sides by y^2 - 16,

y (y + 4) - (4(y - 4)) = 32

y^2 + 4y - 4y + 16 = 32

y^2 = 32 - 16

Squaring both sides,

y = sqrt(16)

= 4

What is the supplementary and complementary angles of 48 degrees?
Nostrana [21]

-- Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees.
48 + S = 180
        S = 180 - 48 = <em>132 degrees</em>

-- Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees.
48 + C = 90
        C = 90 - 48 = <em>42 degrees</em>
