Answer:

2 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

2 - 4x = 3x - 12

Add 4x to each side

2 - 4x+4x = 3x+4x - 12

2 = 7x-12

Add 12 to each side

2 +12 = 7x - 12+12

14 = 7x

Divide each side by 7

14/7 = 7x/7

2 =x

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write out equation

2 - 4x = 3x - 12

Step 2: Add 4x on both sides

2 - 4x + 4x = 3x + 4x - 12

2 = 7x - 12

Step 3: Add 12 on both sides

2 + 12 = 7x - 12 + 12

14 = 7x

Step 4: Divide both sides by 7

14/7 = 7x/7

2 = x

Step 5: Rewrite

x = 2

Leokris [45]

Answer:

13.6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use Pythagorean theorem: $c=\sqrt{a^{2} +b^{2} }$

Let c be the diagonal length, a for length, and b for width.

Substitute the values.

$c=\sqrt{11^{2}+8^{2} }$

c=13.6 inches

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

2.38 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

From Given diagram:

In ΔABC,

AC=2.5 miles

BC= 3.7 miles

∠BCA= 39.4°

Now as we have two sides and an angle, using law of cosines to find the third side:

c= √(a^2+b^2-2abcosα

AB=√(AC)^2 + (BC)^2 - 2(AC)(BC)cosα

=√(2.5)^2 + (3.7)^2 - 2(2.5)(3.7)cos(39.4°)

=√(2.5)^2 + (3.7)^2 - 2(2.5)(3.7)(0.77)

=√(5.695)

= 2.38 !
