Solve the following: -3(x - 8) + 7x = 12 Please explain!

Mathematics
1 answer:
natali 33 [55]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:  -3

Step-by-step explanation:

First... Distribute the -3 into x and -8. You'll have -3x + 24 + 7x = 12

Next... Subtract 24 on both sides (-3x + 24 - 24 + 7x = 12 - 24)

                                 -3x + 7x = -12

Add like terms to get 4x = -12

Finally.. you divide 4 on both and you have...

x = -3

Harriet is cultivating a strain of bacteria in a petri dish, she has 10^3 bacteria in the dish. The bacteria divided every two h
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

4000

Step-by-step explanation:

A=P(2)^(t/d)

A=future amount

P=starting amount

t=time elapsed

h=doubling time

given

P=10^3

t=6

d=2

A=10^3(2)^(6/2)

A=10^3(2)^2

A=10^3(4)

A=4*10^3

A=4000

4000 bacteria

The diagram shows an empty cylindrical container. Ana puts a solid cube of side length 8 cm into the container. She then pours 1
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

<h3><u>Cylinder</u></h3>

\textsf{Volume of a cylinder}=\sf \pi r^2 h \quad\textsf{(where r is the radius and h is the height)}

Given:

  • r = 6 cm
  • h = 18 cm

\begin{aligned}\implies \sf V &= \sf \pi (6)^2(18)\\& = \sf 648 \pi \: cm^3\end{aligned}

<h3><u>Cube</u></h3>

\textsf{Volume of a cube}=\sf x^3\quad\textsf{(where x is the side length)}

Given:

  • x = 8 cm

\begin{aligned}\implies \sf V &= 8^3\\& = \sf 512 \: cm^3\end{aligned}

<h3><u>Volume available to be filled with water</u></h3>

Volume of cylinder - volume of cube

= 684π - 512

= 1532.75204 cm³

    1 litre = 1000 cm³

⇒ 1.5 litres = 1000 × 1.5 = 1500 cm³

As 1500 < 1532.75204, the volume of water poured into the container is smaller than the empty space available in the cylinder.  Therefore, the water will <u>not</u> come over the top of the container.

Solve the system of linear equations by substitution.<br> y=X-4<br> - 2x+y= 18
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

] y=x-4

-2x+y=18

y - x = -4

y - 2x = 18

equation [2] for the variable y

[2] y = 2x + 18

// Plug this in for variable y in equation [1]

[1] (2x+18) - x = -4

[1] x = -22

// Solve equation [1] for the variable x

[1] x = - 22

// By now we know this much :

y = 2x+18

x = -22

// Use the x value to solve for y

y = 2(-22)+18 = -26
