Answer:

Answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify both sides of the equation.

$2x-4(3-x)=18\\2x+(-4)(3)+(-4)(-x)=18$

DIstribute

$2x+-12+4x=18\\(2x+4x)+(-12)=18$

CLT

$6x+-12=18\\6x-12=18$

Add 12 to both sides.

$6x-12+12=18+12\\6x=30$

Divide both sides by 6.

$\frac{6x}{6} =\frac{30}{6}\\ x=5$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A "zero" of a function is an input value that makes the function value equal zero. On the graph these input values are -3 and 1; you can see that the function values are zero in both cases. C is correct.

Find a normal vector n to the plane z−5(x−2)=2(8−y)

Hitman42 [59]

A normal vector is the set of coefficients of x, y, and z when the equation is written in standard (or general) form.

Subtracting the left side, we have

... 2(8 -y) -z +5(x -2) = 0

... 16 -2y -z +5x -10 = 0

... 5x -2y -z +6 = 0 . . . . . general form

A normal vector is (5, -2, -1).

. A high school currently has a 30% dropout rate. They’ve been tasked to decrease that rate by 20%. Find the equivalent percenta

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The equivalent percentage point drop = 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage point change is the difference between the final and initial values.

The percentage change is the difference between the final and initial values

divided by the initial value

It is required to decrease the dropout rate from 30% to 20%

The point change = 20 - 30 = -10 (-ve change ⇒ decrease)

The percentage change = $\frac{10}{30}*100 = 33.33_%$ %

So, the equivalent percentage point drop = 10%

And the percentage change = 33.33%

Which expression is equivalent to the expression below?(6c^2+3c/-4c+2)/(2c+1/4c-2)

algol [13]

Answer:

-3c

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is:

$\frac{\frac{6c^{2}+3c}{-4c+2}}{\frac{2c+1}{4c-2}}$

We need to simplify this expression. The rational expression in the denominator can be multiplied to numerator by taking its reciprocal as shown below:

$\frac{\frac{6c^{2}+3c}{-4c+2}}{\frac{2c+1}{4c-2}} \\\\ =\frac{6c^{2}+3c}{-4c+2} \times \frac{4c-2}{2c+1}\\\\=\frac{3c(2c+1)}{-(4c-2)} \times \frac{4c-2}{2c+1}\\\\ =-3c$

Thus, the given expression in simplified form is equal to -3c
