Answer:

  x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Collect terms:

  -3x -3 = 12

Divide by -3:

  x +1 = -4

Subtract 1:

  x = -5

_____

The more conventional solution method would be to save the division by -3 until the end. The second step could be to add 3 to both sides. Then you would have ...

  -3x = 15

and dividing by -3 would give the same answer.

Answer:

x = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 3 - 6x = 12

group like terms

3x - 6x - 3 = 12

add similar elements

- 3x - 3 = 12

add 3 to both sides

- 3x - 3 + 3 = 12 + 3

simplify

- 3x = 15

divide both sides by 3

- 3x / 5 = 15 / - 3

simplify

x = - 5

I need this ASAP MY TEACHER KEEPS CONTACTING ME PLZ HELP Combine like terms: 9x+8y-4x-2y9x+8y−4x−2y
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

If the expression is 2y+9x the answer is: 10x+12y

If the expression is 2y-9x the answer is -8x+12y

Step-by-step explanation:

You would combine all your x values:-4,9,9,-4 and that equals 10 then you would add your variable, so your x value is 10x.

You would then combine all your y values: 8,-2,8,-2, and that equals 12, then you would add your variable, so your y value is 12y.

Abdul put gas in his car. He paid $18.32 for 8 gallons of gas. What is the unit price?
givi [52]

Answer:

<em>$2.29/gal</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The unit price is in units of cost per volume, or dollars per gallon, so you divide the cost in dollars by the volume in gallons.

unit rate = ($18.32)/(8 gal) = $2.29/gal
