6x+32=−2x

1 answer:

5 0

Whatever you do to one side, you have to do to the other.
Try to get all the x values and regular values together.
To do that, just subtract both sides by 6x to cancel it out on one side and subtract it from the other side:

6x-6x+32=-2x-6x
=
32=-8x
now divide both sides by -8 to get the x by itself

32/-8=-8/-8x
= 32/-8=x
-4=x
so your answer is: x= -4

camela is trying to find the equation of a line that passes through the points (-1, 16) and (5, 88). does the equation y= 12

lutik1710 [3]

I'm assuming you meant does y=12x pass through those coordinates, and if that's the case, then the answer is no.

Hope that helps :)

PLEASE HELP I WILL MARK BRAINLIST TO WHOEVER ANSWERS FIRST !!

Answer:

Graph (6, 5) and (-6, -3), and then use a ruler (optional), and draw a line between them, and a little after the points.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2/3x + 1

Substitute different numbers for x, and find y:

You don't really want to work with fractions, so try to find a number that when multiplied by 2/3, gives you a whole number

x = 6

y = 2/3(6) + 1

y = 12/3 + 1

y = 4 + 1

y = 5

Point: (6, 5)

x = -6

y = 2/3(-6) + 1

y = -12/3 + 1

y = -4 + 1

y = -3

Point: (-6, -3)

Graph these two points, and then use a ruler (optional), and draw a line between them, and a little after the points.

Keller boat travels 24mph. find the rate of the river if she can travel 6 mi upstream. in the same amount of time she can go 10

nikitadnepr [17]

The correct answer is:

6 mph.

Explanation:

We will use the formula d = rt for this, where d is distance, r is rate, and t is time.

We know that the time for both distances is the same; this means we want to isolate t in our formula. To do this, we will cancel r by dividing both sides:
d/r = rt/r
d/r = t

We will write an expression for the time upstream, an expression for the time downstream, and set them equal.

For the time upstream, the distance is 6 and the rate is 24-x; this gives us

$\frac{6}{24-x}$

For the time downstream, the distance is 10 and the rate is 24+x; this gives us

$\frac{10}{24+x}$

Together, these give us the equation

$\frac{6}{24-x}=\frac{10}{24+x}$

We cross-multiply to solve this:
6(24+x) = 10(24-x)

Using the distributive property, we have
6*24 + 6*x = 10*24 - 10*x
144+6x = 240-10x

Adding 10x to each side,
144+6x+10x = 240-10x+10x
144+16x = 240

Subtract 144 from each side:
144+16x-144 = 240-144
16x = 96

Divide both sides by 16:
16x/16 = 96/16
x = 6
