Solve for x: 3x - 3 - 6x = 12​

Mathematics

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

Please help with the middle question!!
Snezhnost [94]

Answer: D) The relation R is a function because for each input there is exactly one output

There's not much else to say other than what choice D already does. Visually we can use the vertical line test to confirm if we have a function or not. If we can pass a single vertical line through more than one point on a curve, then the curve isn't a function. The graph is said to have failed the vertical line test. Otherwise, the relation passes the vertical line test and we have a function.
