Answer:

the first step in simplifying 4(3x-2)+6x(2-1) is to do subtract 1 from 2 in the second set of parenthesis. That will get you 4(3x-2)+6x(1)

The equation completely simplified is 18x-8

-look in the step-by-step explanation if you want to know all the steps to simplifyinh the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Now if you want to know the rest here it is:

Then use the Distributive Property:

-distribute the 4 into (3x-2) to get 12x-8

-then distribut the 6x into (1) to get 6x

Your equation is now 12x-8+6x

Finally, add 12x and 6x to simplify the equation as much as you can

you get 18x-8 as you final, most simplified answer

There are a total of 100 balloons. If the ratio of yellow balloons to blue balloons is 8 to 12, how many of them are yellow

Ivanshal [37]

If you have 8 yellow balloons for every 12 blue balloons, then if you have 20 balloons in total, 8 out of 20 of those balloons will be yellow. Then you can set up this ratio:

$\frac{8yellow}{20total} = \frac{Xyellow}{100total}$

Then, you can use either cross multiplication or multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number to help solve for x. Personally, I prefer cross multiplication, so that's what I'll show you here:

$\frac{8yellow}{20total} = \frac{Xyellow}{100total} \\ 8yellow*100total=20total*Xyellow$

Finally, solve for x:

$8yellow*100total=20total*Xyellow \\ 8*100=20*x \\ 800=20x \\ 800/20=20x/20 \\ x=40yellow$

If you had 100 balloons, you will have 40 yellow balloons.

Hope this helps!!

Plz I'm sooooo confuzzled: If you reflect any shape across the x-axis and then across the y-axis, do you get the same result tha

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

the answer is true

Step-by-step explanation:

If the shape is in the upper left quadrant then you reflect it across the x-axis it would be in the lower left quadrant, next you reflect across the y-axis it would be in the lower right quadrant, finally, if you rotate it 180 degrees it would be where it started.

salantis [7]

Answer:

$2 \frac{1}{5} + 1 \frac{5}{6} = 2 \frac{6}{30} + 1 \frac{25}{30} \\ \\ \frac{66}{30} + \frac{55}{30} = \frac{121}{30} \\ \\ \\ = 4 \frac{1}{30}$
