Well, to solve for x, you have to isolate it. I will show how to solve it, step-by-step below:
2x+3y=12
2x+3y-3y=12-3y
2x=-3y+12 ...divide both sides by 2
x=-3/2y+6

Now, to completely solve for x, you need to find what y is equal to. But to solve for y, you have to "get rid" of the x. You can use "-3/2y+6" in place of the x.
2(-3/2y+6)+3y=12
-6/2y+12+3y=12 ...simplify
-3y+12+3y=12 ...move the 12 to the other side
-3y+12-12+3y=12-12
-3y+3y=0 ...add like things
0=0

...oh. There is no solution...

Let me try doing y first...
2x+3y=12
3y=-2x+12
y=-2/3x+4

2x+3(-2/3x+4)=12
2x-6/3x+12=12
2x-2x=0
0=0

...yo...what is going on... are you sure you gave us the right numbers... no typos?

Solve for the value of X pleassee
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

188

Step-by-step explanation:

SR and ST are equal in length so the arc SR and arc ST also have same measurement

since the perimeter of the circle is equal to 360 and arc RT is given as 64

x = (360 - 64) / 2

x = 188

Mrs. Miller has a rectangular garden with a length of 20 feet long with an area of (20x-200) square feet. Write an expression th
krek1111 [17]

Perimeter = (20 + 2x) mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The octopus pupil has length 20 mm and the expression for its area is given by (20x - 200) square mm.

If the width of the octopus pupil is w, then 20w = 20x - 200

⇒ w = (x - 10) mm.

Therefore, the expression for its perimeter is 2(Length + Width) = 2 ( 20 + x - 10) = 2( 10 + x) = (20 + 2x) mm. (Answer)

Graph a line that contains the point (3,-6) and has a slope of -1/2
djyliett [7]
If I were you, I would make the starting point (3,-6). From there, you will want to use the slope of -1/2 (go down 1 unit and to the right 2 units and draw a point)
