Answer:
x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
-7X + 6= 27
Subtract 6 from each side
-7x +6-6 = 27 -6
-7x = 21
divide each side by -7
-7x/-7 = 21/-7
x = -3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 2 - 3x - 1 = 3x + 2
5x - 3x - 3x = - 2 + 1 + 2
5x - 6x = 1
-1x = 1
x = 1 / -1
x = -1
I believe the answer is 4.
Answer:
y =
x²
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that y and x² are directly proportional then the equation relating them is
y = kx² ← k is the constant of proportion
When x = 2
y = k × 2² = 4k
When x = 5
y = k × 5² = 25k
Then
25k - 4k = 20 ( difference between values is 20 )
21k = 20 ( divide both sides by 21 )
k = 
y =
x² ← equation of proportion
12% of 120 is 14.4
Change the percentage into a decimal by dividing over 100:
12 / 100 = 0.12
Multiply:
0.12 × 120 = 14.4
