In standard form its written 
3x-12=-9
if you need help solving then here you go as well
3x-12=-9
add 12 to both sides
3x=3
divide both sides by 3 
x=1

A club raised 175% of its goal for a charity. The club raises $875. What was the goal?
charle [14.2K]

Answer: The goal was $500

======================================================

Work Shown:

x% = x/100

175% = 175/100 = 1.75

Let g be the goal, which is the amount of money the club wanted to raise

175% of goal = 175% of g = 1.75g

The expression 1.75g represents how much money was actually raised, which was $875. Set the two expressions equal to each other. Solve for g

1.75g = 875

g = 875/1.75 ....... divide both sides by 1.75

g = 500

The club's goal was to raise $500

Note how 75% of $500 is 0.75*500 = 375

When they raised 175% of the goal, this means they went 75% overboard and added on 375 additional dollars (on top of the 500 they wanted). So they got to 500+375 = 875 which lines up with the instructions. This helps verify the answer.

Or we can see that 1.75*g = 1.75*500 = 875 which helps confirm the answer as well.

Percy solved the equation x2 + 7x + 12 = 12. His work is shown below. Is Percy correct? Explain.
antoniya [11.8K]
= > x² + 7x + 12 = 12

= > x² + ( 4 + 3 )x + 12 = 12

= > x² + 4x + 3x + 12 = 12

= > x( x + 4 ) + 3( x + 4 ) = 12

= > ( x + 4 ) ( x + 3 ) = 12


Percy did correct till this step. But by doing like this, Percy can't get the values of the variable x.



Percy should follow the following steps :

= > x² + 7x + 12 = 12


Add -12 on both sides,


= > x² + 7x + 12 - 12 = 12 - 12

= > x² + 7x = 0

= > x( x + 7 ) = 0

= > ( x = 0 ) or ( x + 7 = 0 )

= > ( x = 0 ) or ( x = - 7 )



Hence, required value(s) of x is 0 or -7

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (0, -4) and (-4, 6)?
olganol [36]

Answer:

The equation of the line is.

y=-\frac{5}{2}x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The given points are (0, -4) and (-4, 6)

The equation of the line passing through the points (x_{1},y_{1}) and (x_{2},y_{2}) is.

\frac{x-x_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}=\frac{y-y_{1}}{y_{2}-y_{1}}

Thus, the equation of the line that passes through the points (0, -4) and (-4, 6) is

\frac{x-0}{(-4)-0}=\frac{y-(-4)}{6-(-4)}

\frac{x}{-4}=\frac{y+4}{6+4}

-\frac{x}{4}=\frac{y+4}{10}

-\frac{10x}{4}=y+4

-10x=4(y+4)

-10x=4y+16

4y=-10x-16

The above equation is divided by 2 both sides.

2y=-5x-8

y=-\frac{5}{2}x-4

Therefore, the equation of the line that passes through the points (0, -4) and (-4, 6) is y=-\frac{5}{2}x-4
