Hey there! :)

2x + 4 > 16

We're simply just trying to get x onto it's own side, so let's get rid of any numbers on the same side of it.

We can start out by subtracting both sides by 4.

2x + 4 - 4 > 16 - 4

Simplify.

2x > 12

Then, divide both sides by 2.

2x ÷ 2 > 12 ÷ 2

Simplify.

x > 6

Therefore, our answer is D. x > 6

~Hope I helped!~

Each month, a shopkeeper spends 5x+11 dollars on rent and electricity. if he spends 2x-3 dollars on rent, how muck dose he spend

timofeeve [1]

Rent and electricity = 5x + 11
rent = 2x - 3

electricity = (5x + 11) - (2x - 3)
electricity = 5x + 11 - 2x + 3
electricity = 3x + 14

Answer: 3x + 11

There are six balls in the bag. Two are basketballs, three are playground balls, and one is a soccer ball. What is the probabili

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{6}=0.16$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : There are six balls in bag

Basketballs=2

Playground balls =3

Soccer ball =1

To Find : the probability that if you pick one of the balls without looking, it will be a soccer ball

Solution :

Total no. of balls = 6

No. of soccer balls = 1

Probability = favorable outcomes / total outcomes

Since total outcomes = total no. of balls =6

And favorable outcome = no. of soccer balls = 1

Thus , Probability of getting soccer ball = $\frac{1}{6}$

Hence the probability that if you pick one of the balls without looking, it will be a soccer ball:

$\frac{1}{6}=0.16$

Write an equation for a parabola in which the set of all points in the plane are equidistant from the focus and line F(-6,0); x=

Bogdan [553]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have a vertical directrix, the equation of the parabola is

$(y - k) {}^{2} = 4p(x - h)$

Where p is the distance from the vertex to the directrix.

or the distance from the vertex to the focus.

Since we have a sideways parabola, let use the point for the directrix is (-6,0). So let find the midpoint of (-6,0) and (6,0). That would be our vertex.

$\frac{ - 6 + 6)}{2} = 0$
