Use similarity property:
14 / (14+6) = 21 / (21 + (x+4))
14/20 = 21/(x+25) cross multiplication property
14*(x+25) = 20*21
14x + 350 = 420
14x = 70
x = 70/14 = 5.
The correct solution is 75.
Answer:
12x + 18y + 6z + 4x - 4z
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression : 3(4x + 6y + 2z) + 4(x – z)
To eliminate the parenthesis ; we use the distributive property :
3(4x + 6y + 2z) + 4(x – z) becomes ;
3*4x + 3*6y + 3*2z + 4*x + 4*-z
12x + 18y + 6z + 4x - 4z
Hence,
12x + 4x + 18y + 6z - 4z
16x + 18y + 2z
