Answer:

-4x + 12 = 20 is incorrect. she added 12 to 20 instead of subtracting 12 from both sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

It should have been, write problem

-4(x - 3) = 20

Use distributive property.

-4x + 12 = 20

subtract 12 from each side

-4x =8

divide each side by -4

x = -2

disa [49]

A father is now twice as old as his son. If the sum of their ages ten years ago was fifty two, how old are they today?​
Oliga [24]

Answer:

24 and 48

Today, the son is 24 years old, and the father is 48 years old.  

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 10) + (2x - 10) = 52

3x + 20 = 52

3x = 72

x = 24

The father is 2 times his son's age.

2x

= 2(24)

= 48

So, the son is 24 and the father is 48.

10 years ago, son was 14 and father was 38, if added, this adds up to 52, so we know our calculations are correct.

How can you<br> change the equation y = mx + b to<br> shift the graph down?
IrinaK [193]

Step-by-step explanation: To shift the graphs up and down on the coordinate system, you need to manipulate or change the y-intercepts.

The y-intercept is just the constant term in the equation.

As long as the slopes remain the same, the graphs can be

translated up or down by changing the constant value.

Take a look at these lines graphed below.

Notice that y = x + 11 is the same as y = x + 4 but

y = x + 11 is translated 7 units down to get y = x + 4.

Need help with this question plz.Will Give BRAINLIEST
Ierofanga [76]
For the first one his car used 8/340 or 2/85 gallons for one mile.

After the fix, his car 7/350 or 1/50 gallons for one mile.

Then you subtract 1/50-2/85 to get (17-10)/850 or 7/850.

You multiply this by 4 to get 28/850 which is $0.0329411

Since it is asking for cents you multiply by 100 to get approximately 3 cents.
