Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x - 6) = 2(x + 3)

Distribute

5x - 30 = 2x + 6

Put like terms on each side by subtracting both sides by -2x and adding 30 on each side

3x = 36

Simplify

3x/3 = 36/3

x = 36/3

x = 12

Plug is back in to check

5(12) - 30 = 2(12) + 6

60 - 30 = 24 + 6

30 = 30

Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x-6) = 2(x+3)

Distribute

5x-30 = 2x+6

Subtract 2x from each side

5x-2x -30 = 2x-2x+6

3x-30 =6

Add 30 to each side

3x-30+30 = 6+30

3x=36

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = 36/3

x =12

Prove that in any triangle the length of a side is less than the half of the perimeter in statement reason format.
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

Proved

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to pose c as the largest side in a random triangle

If so then remember that, by the triangle inequality, a + b > c. Let's start from there...

Statement:                         |                                  Reasoning:

1. a + b > c                                                             1. Triangle Inequality

2. a + b + c > c + c (adding c on both sides),      2. Algebra + Def. Of Perimeter

   a + b + c > 2c (simplified)

   Perimeter > 2c (definition of perimeter)

   c < 1/2 * Perimeter

juin [17]
Start by making the denominators equal.

1/3 becomes 4/12
1/6 becomes 2/12
and you have 5/12.

Add together to get 10/12.

Once simplified, the answer should be 5/6.

Answer: second option

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this problem, we will need to plug in the value of “x” into our equation to see if it makes sense.

Let’s start by going in order.

-4.9 = -5.7 + 10.6 = 4.9

This will not be the answer because it’s positive 4.9 not negative.

Let’s go on to the last one. If we add positive 0.8 to negative 5.7 we will get the answer of -4.9 and this makes sense.
