Multiply everything in the parenthesis by 3.
9x - 24 = 4x + 6
Add 24 to both sides.
9x = 4x + 30
Subtract 4x from both sides.
5x = 30
Divide both sides by 5.
x = 6
Hope this helps!
Answer:80 degree angle
Step-by-step explanation:
There are always 180 degrees so you subtract the 2 others and you get the angle (60+40-180)
Answer:
K = -72
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Get K/9 by itself to do so add 3 to both sides eliminating it on the left by turning the -11 into -8
2. Multiply by 9 on both sides eliminating the division of 9 on the left and turning -8 into -72 leaving the equation as K = -72
To eliminate a number you must do its opposite so the opposite of -3 is +3 so you +3 to both sides. And always start the equation by eliminating what is not connected to the variable in this case the 9 was connected to the variable as K/9.
Answer:
We have that the sum of two numbers is 9
this can be written as:
x + y = 9
where x is the larger number.
Now we want to write:
"the difference between one more than the larger number and twice the smaller number"
First, remember that the difference between A and B is:
A - B
Then "the difference between one more than the larger number and twice the smaller number"
is:
"one more than the larger number" = ( x + 1)
"twice the smaller number" = 2*y
the difference between these is:
(x + 1) - 2*y
Now we can simplify:
We know that:
x + y = 9
then:
y = 9 - x
replacing that in the equation:
(x + 1) - 2*y
we would get:
x + 1 - 2*(9 - x)
x + 1 -18 + 2x
(x + 2x) + (1 - 18)
3x - 17
This means that we can write:
"the difference between one more than the larger number and twice the smaller number"
as: 3x - 17
