Answer A:the number of students who watch 6 to 9 hours of TV
Step-by-step explanation:
Just took the test.
Answer: The number is: "2 " .
__________________________________________
Explanation:
__________________________________________
Write the expression; which is an equation, as follows:
__________________________________________
" 4x <span>− 12 = 2(-x) " ; in which "x" represents "the number for which we shall solve" .
___________________________________________
Note:
If the "number" = "x" ; the "opposite of the number" = " -x " ;
</span>___________________________________________
Rewrite as: " 4x <span>− 12 = -2x " ;
</span>_____________________________________________
→ Add "12" ; & add "2x" ; to EACH SIDE of the equation:
4x − 12 + 12 + 2x = -2x + 12 + 2x ;
to get: 6x = 12 ;
____________________________________________________
Now, divide each side of the equation by "6" ;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;
____________________________________________________
6x / 6 = 12 / 6 ;
to get: x = 2 .
____________________________________________________
Answer: The number is: "2 " .
____________________________________________________
Let us check our answer, by plugging in "2" for "x" in our original equation:
_____________________________________________________
→ " 4x − 12 = 2(-x) " ;
Let us plug in "2" for "x" ; to see if the equation holds true; that is; if both side of the equation are equal; when "x = 2" ;
→ " 4(2) − 12 = ? 2(-2) ??
→ 8 − 12 = ? -4 ? ;
→ -4 = ? -4 ?? Yes!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The midpoint of two points is the average of the x coordinates and the average of the y coordinates.
Given
A(3, -1)
and we let the other end point B be B(x,y)
and midpoint is (-7,10)
So, the average of 3 and x is -7, and
the average of -1 and y is 10
We can solve for x first:

and now solving for y:

So, the other point B is:

Okay.. well did you try to do it on your own at least ? I help you, but what do you know already so we can go on from there.
