Answer:

One solution

Step-by-step explanation:

3/5(x+2)=x-4

I do not like working with fractions, so I will multiply by 5 on each side to clear the fractions.

5 *3/5(x+2)=5*(x-4)

3*(x+2)= 5*(x-4)

Distribute

3x+6 = 5x-20

Subtract 3x from each side

3x+6 = 5x-20

3x-3x+6 = 5x-3x-20

6 = 2x-20

Add 20 to each side

6+20 =2x-20+20

26 =2x

Divide each side by 2

26/2 = 2x/2

13=x

Which expression shows the perimeter of the triangle in simplest form?
ankoles [38]

Answer:

D. 6x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

A perimeter is just the sum of all sides of a shape.

First, write an equation to add all sides of the triangle:

(x + 4) + (3x - 2) + (2x + 1)

What is inside the parentheses is all already simplified. Also, it is addition, so the order in which we add does not matter. So, we can now get rid of the parentheses and combine like terms:

x + 3x + 2x + 4 -2 + 1

6x + 3

And that's our final answer: 6x + 3

The ratio of girls to boys who participated in the quiz bowl was 7:5. There were 42 girls in the competition. How many boys part
Zinaida [17]
The way i do it, is sort of like this :

Is 7 a factor of 42? 
  Is 5 a factor of 42? 

7 is a factor of 42. 
It must be in multiples of 7!

Therefore, we have 5 on the other side, which makes it 5 x 7 = 35
