Answer: 72 cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the number of toys that Moby had to start with.

According to the information given in the exercise, Moby sold half his toy car collection. This can be represented with the following expression:

\frac{1}{2}x

Then he bought 12 more cars, giving a total amount of 48 toy cars.

Therefore, the equation that represents this situation is the equation shown below:

x-\frac{1}{2}x+12=48

Now you must solve for "x" in order to find its value.

You get that this is:

\frac{1}{2}x+12=48\\\\\frac{1}{2}x=48-12\\\\\frac{1}{2}x=36\\\\x=(36)(2)\\\\x=72

How do i solve this
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
Replace g for -2 and h for 5.

(2(-2) + 9(5) -5) - (6(-2) - 4(5) +2)

Taking this one at a time,
2(-2) = -4, and 9(5) = 45.
6(-2) = -12 and -4(5) = -20

(-4 + 45 - 5) - (- 12 - 20 +2)

Let’s distribute the negative symbol to the right side.

(-4 + 45 - 5) + (12 + 20 - 2)

Then, we solve!
(-4 + 40) + (12 + 18)

(36) + (30)

= 66!

What is the area of a sector with a central angle 210 and a diameter of 4.6
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
Theta = 210°
r = 4.6/2 = 2.3
Area of circle = pi * r * r
= 3.14 * 2.3 * 2.3 = 16.61
Area of sector =
(theta / 360) * area of circle
= (210/360) * 16.61
= 9.69

A line passes through the point (-6, 6) and (-6, 2). In two or more complete sentences, explain why it is not possible to write
Alenkinab [10]
The line passes through two points that have the same x-coordinate.
It is a vertical line. To find the slope of a line, use any two points. Subtract the y-coordinates. Subtract the x-coordinates in the same order. Then divide the difference of the y-coordinates by the difference of the x-coordinates. Since in this case, the x-coordinates are both -6, the difference between the x-coordinates is zero. Division by zero is not defined, so the slope of this line is undefined. You can't write its equation in point-slope form, because there is no slope for this line.
