<span>Simplifying 6(x + -1) = 9(x + 2) Reorder the terms: 6(-1 + x) = 9(x + 2) (-1 * 6 + x * 6) = 9(x + 2) (-6 + 6x) = 9(x + 2) Reorder the terms: -6 + 6x = 9(2 + x) -6 + 6x = (2 * 9 + x * 9) -6 + 6x = (18 + 9x) Solving -6 + 6x = 18 + 9x Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-9x' to each side of the equation. -6 + 6x + -9x = 18 + 9x + -9x Combine like terms: 6x + -9x = -3x -6 + -3x = 18 + 9x + -9x Combine like terms: 9x + -9x = 0 -6 + -3x = 18 + 0 -6 + -3x = 18 Add '6' to each side of the equation. -6 + 6 + -3x = 18 + 6 Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0 0 + -3x = 18 + 6 -3x = 18 + 6 Combine like terms: 18 + 6 = 24 -3x = 24 Divide each side by '-3'. x = -8 Simplifying x = -8</span>

How can you check to see if two ratios form a proportion? Explain the method you used to find the answer to the previous problem

Answer:

In problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. To find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.

If (x) =7-3x, determine the value of x when f(x)=16.
melomori [17]

Answer:

f=16/7.3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets solve for f:

f(7.3)=16

Step 1:Divide both sides by 7.3x

7.3f/7.3x=16/17.3x

Plz solve I’ve been stuck on how to start it and I just can’t
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

x and y = 0

the question looks weird and almost wrong because when you subtract the equations, you are left with nothing

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the top equation by 3 to make the -x a -3x instead.

Then do the top equation - the bottom equation

At this point you should be left with x

A triangular pyramid has a right triangle for its base. The perpendicular sides of the triangle are 10 inches and 18 inches long
igor_vitrenko [27]
The formula for a triangular pyramid is 1/3AH. A is the area of the base. H is the height of the pyramid. So to find the area of a right triangle, you would use the formula (a x b)/2. So (10 x18)/2 is 90 inches^2. Now you can fill in the first formula. 1/3(90 x 14), which equals 420 inches^3. I hope you find this helpful (if correct.)
