x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+y=2(x+3y)\\\\4x-2=2(x+3(-2))\\\\4x-2=2(x-6)\\\\4x-2=2x-12\\\\4x-2+2=2x-12+2\\\\4x=2x-10\\\\4x-2x=2x-2x-10\\\\2x=-10\\\\\frac{2x=-10}{2}\\\\\boxed{x=-5}

Hope this helps.

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+y=2(x+3y)

plug in -2 for y: 4x+(-2)=2(x+3(-2))

solve: 4x-2=2x-12

subtract 2x from each side: 4x(-2x)-2=2x(-2x)-12

2x-2=-12

add 2 to each side: 2x-2(+2)=-12(+2)

2x=-10

divide both sides by 2: 2x(/2)=10(/2)

x=-5

Sherri saves nickels and dimes in a coin purse for her daughter. The total value of the coins in the purse is $0.95. The number
forsale [732]
I’m guessing that this is for systems of equations?
n - nickels
d - dimes

These are the equations you start off with.
n = 5d-2
0.95 = 0.10d+0.05n

Substitute the top equation for n into the variable n in the bottom equation.
0.95 = 0.10d+0.05(5d-2)

Solve for d.
0.95 = 0.10d+0.25d-0.10
1.05 = 0.35d
3 = d

Substitute d into the top equation and solve for n.
n = 5(3)-2
n = 15-3
n = 12

There are 3 dimes and 12 nickels in the coin purse! Hope this helped <3

The sum of three consecutive even integers is 264. What are the integers? (show your work)
Anettt [7]

Answer:

1 Expert Answer

X + Y + Z = 264. Since Y is 1 bigger than X, Y = X + 1. Since Z is 1 bigger than Y, Z = Y + 1. But Y = X + 1, so Z = (X + 1) + 1 = X + 2.

A bag contains 8 purple marbles &amp; 12 green marbles. You choose one marble out of the bag without looking.
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

1. P(P) = 8/20 = 0.4

2. P(G) = 12/20 = 0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Number of green marbles G = 12

Number of purple marbles P = 8

Total T = 12+8 = 20

The probability that you choose a purple marble P(P) is;

P(P) = number of purple marbles/total number of marbles

P(P) = P/T = 8/20 = 0.4

P(P) = 0.4

The probability that you choose a Green marble P(G) is;

P(G) = number of Green marbles/total number of marbles

P(G) = G/T = 12/20 = 0.6

P(G) = 0.6
