Cross multiply
2x(3x-4) = 3(x+2)
5x - 8x = 3x + 6
-3x= 3x+6
x = 6
I think
16
divide 12 by 3 since its 3/4 of the whole thing so 1/4=4

Answer:
-17
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving for y, we find ...
-11y -4 = 7
-11y = 11 . . . . . . . add 4
y = -1 . . . . . . . . . divide by -11
Then the expression of interest has the value ...
9y -8 = 9(-1) -8 = -9 -8
9y -8 = -17
Answer:
6 + 7 + 8 = 21
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
12 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
If the size of the bag decreased by 20%, so will the number of cups held.
Number of cups held before the change = 15 cups

= (100 - 20)% × 15
=80% × 15
= 12 cups
The new bags will hold 12 cups.
