What numbers would you subtract from each side of the equation x + 12 = 17 + 3 to get the variable by itself ?

Ok so basically when you work with equations you want to do the opposite regardless if the sign is adding or subtracting do the opposite. Ok so x+12=17+3 So first we can not simplify the numbers on the left side so we leave it. Now 17+3 is 20 so x+12=20 do the inverse because you want to get x by itself to see what its secret number is. so 20-12 is 8 x=8 hoped that helped .:))

The number you would subtract on both sides would be 12... but this in  and of itself is not the first step. the way you would solve this is by:
combine like terms. x + 12=20
then, subtract 12 from both sides to get variable alone.
you will end up with a final answer of x=8

Is anyone able to help me with this question:
Serga [27]

Answer:

not sure but this info might help you.

Step-by-step explanation:

the diagonal in the rectangle splits it into two right angled triangles, hence the hypotenuse is the diagonal.

once you find the measurement, we all know that a square has all sides equal and the diagonal splits it into 2 equilateral triangles. so, the side of the square =the diagonal's measurement.

After a little manipulation, the given diff'l equation will look like this:

e^y * dy = (2x + 1) * dx.
                                                             x^2
Integrating both sides, we get e^y = 2------- + x + c, or e^y = x^2 + x + c
                                                               2

Now let x=0 and y = 1, o find c:

e^1 = 0^2 + 0 + c.  So, c = e, and the solution is e^y = x^2 + x + e.
