5x+4(-x-2)=-5x+2(x-1)+12

Mathematics

Allisa [31]4 years ago

Answer:

x=9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5x+4(−x−2)=−5x+2(x−1)+12

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5x+4(−x−2)=−5x+2(x−1)+12

5x+(4)(−x)+(4)(−2)=−5x+(2)(x)+(2)(−1)+12 (Distribute)

5x+−4x+−8=−5x+2x+−2+12

(5x+−4x)+(−8)=(−5x+2x)+(−2+12) (Combine Like Terms)

x+−8=−3x+10

x−8=−3x+10

Step 2: Add 3x to both sides.

x−8+3x=−3x+10+3x

4x−8=10

Step 3: Add 8 to both sides.

4x−8+8=10+8

4x=18

Step 4: Divide both sides by 4.

4x/4=18/4

x=9/2

What's the error? Jerry says that a cube with edges that measure 10 cm has a volume that is twice as much as a cube with sides t
disa [49]
The quick way to dispute something like this is to simply do the calculation and then create a ratio. 

Cube One (Large Cube)
The formula for a cube is V = e^3 
e = the measurement of an edge. In this case.
e = 10 cm
V = e^3
V = 10^3 = 10*10*10
V = 1000 cm^3

Cube 2 (Small Cube)
V = e^3
e = 5 cm
V = 5*5*5
V = 125 cm^3

Ratio
Large Cube / Small Cube = 1000 / 125 = 8/1.

The difference in size is 8 to 1 not 2 to 1.

Explanation
He's right if he sticks to one side. The ratio of one side of the large cube to the small one is 2 to 1. But once you put that into the formula for volume, three sides are multiplied together and that 2 shows up everytime you multiply the sides together.

2. A used PlayStation 4 is on sale for 10% off the regular price of $160.00. If the sales tax rate is 9%, how much would I pay f
34kurt

Answer:

$156.96

Step-by-step explanation:

10% off of $160.00 would be $16.00 so minus that by $160.00. Which then equals $144.00. Sales tax should be reduced to the sale price. So that would make it 144 times 0.09 for the 9% which equals $12.96 then add the $144.00 which then makes it $156.96. Hope it helps and I'm not wrong about sales tax:)
