Which equation has the solution x = 3?

Well, let's first solve each equation:

1.) -4x + 6 - 3x = 12 - 2x - 3x

To start, combine each like-term on each side of the equal sign (The numbers with variables in-common // the numbers alike on the same side of the equal sign):

-7x + 6 = 12 - 5x

Now, we get the two terms with variables attached to them, on the same side, so, we do the opposite of subtraction, which is, addition:

-7x + 6 = 12 - 5x
+5x +5x
_____________
-2x + 6 = 12

Next, you do the opposite of addition, which is, subtraction, and, subtract 6 from both sides:

-2x + 6 = 12
-6 -6
____________
-2x = 6

Finally, divide by -2 on each side, to find out what the value of 'x' is:

-2x = 6
÷-2 ÷-2
________
x = -3

So, the answer is not 'A.'
_________________________________________

Now, we test out the rest of the equations, the exact same way:

2.) 4x + 6 + 3x = 12 + 2x + 3x

Combine your like-terms, on each side of the equal sign:

7x + 6 = 12 + 5x

Now, get both terms, with the variable, 'x,' to the same side, and, to do that, do the opposite of addition, which is, subtraction:

7x + 6 = 12 + 5x
-5x -5x
______________
2x + 6 = 12

Next, subtract 6 from both sides:

2x + 6 = 12
-6 -6
__________
2x = 6

Finally, divide by 2, on both sides:

2x = 6
÷2 ÷2
__________
x = 3

So, the answer is 'B.'
_________________________________________

3.) 4x + 6 - 3x = 12 - 2x - 3x

Again, we combine the like-terms, on both sides of the equal sign:

x + 6 = 12 - 5x

Now, we get both terms with the variable 'x,' to the same side, and, the opposite of subtraction, is addition, so, we're going to add 5x to both sides:

x + 6 = 12 - 5x
+ 5x + 5x
______________
6x + 6 = 12

Now, we subtract 6 from each side, because, the opposite of addition, is subtraction:

6x + 6 = 12
- 6 - 6
_____________
6x = 6

Now, divide by 6, on both sides:

6x = 6
÷ 6 ÷ 6
_____________
x = 1

So, the answer is not 'C.'
_________________________________________

4.) 4x + 6 - 3x = 12x + 2x + 3x

First, we combine the like-terms:

x + 6 = 17x

Next, we get both terms, with the variable, 'x,' to the same side:

x + 6 = 17x
-x -x
_____________
6 = 16x

Now, divide by 16, on both sides:

X = 3/8

So, 'D,' is not the answer.
_______________________

The answer is, 'B.'

I hope this helps!

Please help me find the equation xx

Answer:

  • (2x-10) +x +(x+10) = 180
  • x = 45
  • (2x-10)° = 80°
  • (x+10)° = 55°
  • x° = 45°

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is an expression of the fact that <em>the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°.</em>

  (2x -10)° +x° +(x +10)° = 180°

For the purposes of the answer box, I'd leave off the degree symbol:

  (2x -10) +x +(x +10) = 180

__

This simplifies to ...

  4x = 180

  x = 45

Then the angles (CW from top) are ...

  (2·45 -10) = 80°

  (45 +10)° = 55°

  (45)° = 45°

I need the description of how to draw a parallel line and a perpendicular line.
EleoNora [17]
How to Draw Parallel Lines:
1. Draw a straight line any length

2. Draw another straight line any length

(note : ensure the lines will never intersect)

They shall never horizontally or vertically.

How to Draw Perpendicular Lines:
1. Draw a straight line vertically

2. Draw a straight line horizontally

(note : length does not necessarily matter)

The two lines must cross at right angles to each other!!

With the parallel line instructions, simply just draw lines but, when given the slopes of two lines, you must get graphing paper or make your own, and graph it by plotting points and then getting a ruler and tracing it.

With the perpendicular lines it helps with showing a relation between situations along with given slopes. They shall intersect always and meet at a 90° angle. Use the equations and plot them then take a ruler and trace them and notice the intersection. Solve it yourself and see that the intersection and the answers you got are the same.
