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.'

If you're taking trig, the "sum and difference formulas for trig functions" are basic facts that you'll need to learn and commit to memory.  I'd suggest you look up these formulas on the net.  You will likely immediately find listings for the sine, cosine and tangent.

NEED URGENT HELP!! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
Flauer [41]

1. You need to multiply the denominator by something that will make the content of the radical be a square—so that when you take the square root, you get something rational. Easiest and best is to multiply by √6. Of course, you must multiply the numerator by the same thing. Then simplify.

\displaystyle\frac{2}{\sqrt{6}}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{6}}\cdot\frac{\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{6}}\\\\=\frac{2\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{6}\cdot\sqrt{6}}=\frac{2\sqrt{6}}{6}\\\\=\bf{\frac{\sqrt{6}}{3}}

2. Identify the squares under the radical and remove them.

5\sqrt{12xm^3}=5\sqrt{(4m^2)(3xm)}=5\sqrt{(2m)^2}\sqrt{3xm}\\\\=5\cdot 2m\sqrt{3xm}=\bf{10m\sqrt{3xm}}

PLEASE HELP ASAP f(x) = x2 What is g(x)?
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

c. g(x) = 4x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

From a first glance, since g(x), is skinnier than f(x), meaning that it is increasing faster, so I know that I can eliminate options A & B since the coefficient on x needs to be greater than 1.

We can then look and see that g(1) = 4 as shown by the point given to us on the graph.

To find the right answer we can find g(1) for options C & D and whichever one matches the point on the graph is our correct answer. e

Option C:

once we plug in 1 for x, our equation looks like

4(1)^2.

1^2 = 1, and 4(1) = 4,

so g(1) = 4. and our point is (1,4).

This is the same as the graph so this is the CORRECT answer.

If you want to double check, you can still find g(1) for option D and verify that it is the WRONG answer.

Option D:

once we plug in 1 for x, our equation looks like

16(1)^2

1^2 = 1, and 16(1) = 16,

so g(1) = 16. and our point is (1,16).

This is different than the graph so this is the WRONG answer.

Please help me friends​
adoni [48]

Answer:  x ≥ 4

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

x + 10 ≥ 14

Subtract 10 from both sides of the equation:

x      ≥ 4

Graphing:

> and < symbols represent an open dot

≥ and ≤ symbols represent a closed dot

Since the solution is: x ≥ 4, we will use a closed dot and the arrow will point to the right of 4.
