What is 12x - 5 = 127

Here is your equation:

$12x-5=127$

You're trying to find x, and to do that, the variable must be alone. That means you need to cancel out everything with it. The only thing with the variable 12x is -5. To cancel that out, you have to do the opposite of it, which is +5. Add 5 to both sides.

$12x-5+5=127+5 \\12x=132$

12x(12 times x) is equal to 132. You need to find x. You have to do the opposite of times 12, which is divide by 12. Divide both sides by 12.

$\frac{12x}{12} = \frac{132}{12} \\ \\x=11$

Your answer is x is equal to 11 ; x = 11

If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments! :)

Can someone help me find the scale factor and the missing sides please?

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

x = 6, y = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

$scale \: factor = \frac{13}{32.5} \\ = \frac{2}{5} \\ \\ \frac{x}{15} = \frac{18}{y} = \frac{2}{5} \\ \\ \implies \frac{x}{15} = \frac{2}{5} \\ \\ x = \frac{2 \times 15}{5} \\ \\ x = 6 \\ \\ \frac{18}{y} = \frac{2}{5} \\ \\ y = \frac{5 \times 18}{2} \\ \\ y = 45$

Divide to find two equivalent fraction 4/12

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer: 2/6 and 1/3

Step-by-step explanation: Equivalent fractions are fractions that have the same value but have different top and bottom numbers.

We can find 1 equivalent fraction by dividing the numerator and the denominator by 2 and we get 2/6. We can also reduce 2/6 by dividing the numerator and the denominator by 2 and we get 1/3.

So two equivalent fractions for 4/12 would be 2/6 and 1/3.

Find the values of X and Y in an isosceles triangle where one angle is 47°

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

X and Y = 66.5°.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming that X and Y are the base angles, which are equal in an isosceles triangle.

X = Y = (180 - 47) / 2

= 66.5°.

Landon finds that the school cafeteria has 8,000 milliliters of grape juice, 4.2 liters

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

1) Part A)

Liters Mililiters

1 1,000

5 5,000

8 8,000

14 14,000

2) Part B)

One way to convert 4.2 liters to milliliters is to  multiply  the number of liters by the number of milliliters in 1 liter. This means there are  4,200 milliliters in 4.2 liters. The cafeteria has the greatest amount of  orange juice, the second greatest amount of  grape  juice, and the least amount of  cranberry juice.

Explanation:

1) Data:

Grape juice: 8,000 mililiters

Cranberry juice: 4.2 liter

Orange juice: 12,000 mililiters

There are 1,000 mililiers in 1 liter

2) Part A:

Table:

The table is garbled. This is what the tables could look like:

Liters Mililiters

1 1,000

5 5,000

8 8,000

14 14,000

You can see that the table shows a direct relationship between the number of mililiters and the number of liters:

1,000/1 = 1,000
5,000/5 = 1,000
8,000/8 = 1,000

14,000/14 = 1,000

number of mililiters / liters = 1,000

3) Part B)

Fill in the blanks to explain how Landon can convert 4.2 liters of cranberry juice to mililiters so he can compare the amounts of the different juices:

i) One way to convert 4.2 liters to milliliters is to  multiply  the number of

liters by the number of milliliters in 1 liter.

As demonstrated above there is a direct relationship between the number of mililiters and the number on liters, then you must multiply the number of liters by the proportionality constant to find the number of mililiters.

ii) This means there are  4,200 milliliters in 4.2 liters.

That is the product 4.2 × 1,000 = 4,200.

iii) The cafeteria has the greatest amount of  orange juice, the second greatest amount of  grape  juice, and the least amount of  cranberry juice.

Rank the amounts:

12,000 > 8,000 > 4,200
