b - is a part of segment = 9.
We can see that
9 =b + x
b+x+b =12 -----> 2b + x =12
b +x=9 /*(-2) ------> -2b - 2x = -18
2b+x=12
-2b - 2x = -18
<u> 2b + x = 12</u>
-x = -6
x = 6
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
to get x alone you need to add 3 to both sides
3+2 = x -3 +3
x = 3+2
Answer:
B: 8(N - 17) = 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the wording multiplies the difference by 8, the appropriate choice is B.
__
A: "the difference of the product eight times a number and seventeen" It is less ambiguous if you can word it as "the difference of seventeen and the product of 8 and a number is negative 30".
C: "The difference of eight times a number and seventeen times the same number is thirty."
First subtract the x variable on both sides so on the first equation youll have -6y=8x+60 then divide 6 on all variables which means youll have y=8/6x+10 and in the second equation you do the same thing and youll have y=-5/6x-11.5
