Answer:

-6x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Distribute </u>

-3(2x - 4)

(-3 * 2x) + (-3 * -4)

-6x + 12

Answer:  -6x + 12

<u>If needed, solve </u>

-6x + 12 - 12 = 0 - 12

-6x / -6 = -12 / -6

x = 2

Professor shepherd weighed two pieces of metal for an experiment. the piece of iron weighed 7/12 of a pound and the piece of alu
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

The iron weighed 1/12 pound more than the aluminum.

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of the aluminum is given as 1/2 pound. But that can also be written as 6/12 pound.

This is a subtraction problem (subtracting fractions...so also a common denominator problem)

In order to subtract fractions you have to get a common denominator.

7/12 - 1/2

= 7/12 - 6/12

= 1/12

The iron is 1/12 pound heavier than the aluminum.

A line, y mx + b, passes through the point (2, 3) and is parallel to y 2x + 5. What is the value of b?​
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line is parallel to another it must have the same slope

The slope/intercept form of a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b the y intercept

The line y = 2x + 5 has slope 2

So the slope of the line that passes through (2,3) must also have the slope 2

We have
y = 2x + b; Substituting x =2, y =3 in this equation gives us
3 = 2 (2) + b or b = -1

Hence the equation of the line is
y = 2x -1

Cross-check

Substitute for x = 2 ==> y = 2(2) - 1 = 3 which is consistent

A jewelry store buys small boxes in which to wrap items that they sell. The diagram below shows one of the boxes. Find the later
andrew-mc [135]
Given that length = 14 cm, width = 7 cm, and height(which was not mentioned in the question) is 1.66 cm, we are tasked to f<span>ind the lateral area and the surface area of the box. 
To  find the lateral area, we need to add the area of the sides of the 3D figure.
L = 2(1.66)(14) + 2(1.66)(7)
=46.48 + 23.34
=69.72 </span><span> ≈ 70 cm^2
</span>To find the surface area, 
SA = 2(1.66)(14) + 2(1.66)(7) + 2(14)(7)
=46.48 + 23.24 + 196
=265.72 ≈ 266 cm ^2
The answers are <span>70cm^2 and 266cm^2.</span>
