Answer:

-28

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

Given that,

3( x+ 8) = 2x - 4

3x + 24 = 2x -4

3x-2x = -4-24

x= -28

Jackson is two times older than Shelly. If the sum of their ages is 18, how old is Jackson?
salantis [7]
Answer: jackson is 12

explanation:
let the age be represented by x
jackson is 2 times older than shelly so
2x is jackson’s age and x is shelly’s age

since the sum of their ages is 18 then:
2x + x = 18

solve:
3x = 18 ➔ divide by 3 on both sides
x = 6

so now we know shelly is 6

jackson is 2 times older than her so:
2(6) = 12

The Length of a rectangle exceeds its breadth by 9 cm. if length and breadth are each increased by 3 cm, the area of new rectang
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Breadth = 8 cm

Length = 17 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given rectangle:

Breadth = x cm

Length = x + 9 cm

Area = length * breadth

        = x * (x + 9)

       = x² + 9x

Rectangle with length and breadth increased:

Breadth = x + 3 cm

Length = x + 9 + 3 = x + 12 cm

Area = 84 + (x² + 9x) cm²

(x +3) * (x +12) = 84 + x² +  9x

Use FOIL method

x*x  + x*12 + 3*x + 3*12 = 84 + x² + 9x

      x² + 12x + 3x + 36  = 84 + x² + 9x  {add the like terms}

             x² + 15x  + 36  = 84 + x² + 9x

x² + 15x + 36 - 84 - x² - 9x = 0

      6x - 48 = 0

             6x = 48

             x = 48/6

        x = 8

Breadth = x = 8 cm

Length = x + 9 = 8 +9 = 17 cm

Hello, I really struggle with math and I was wondering if you could help me with the following problem please? It will be much a
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

3x + 2(4 + 6x) = 113

3x + (4 * 2 + 6x * 2) = 113

3x + (8 + 12x) = 113

Reorder the terms:

8 + 3x + 12x = 113

Combine like terms: 3x + 12x = 15x

8 + 15x = 113

Solving

8 + 15x = 113

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.

8 + -8 + 15x = 113 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0

0 + 15x = 113 + -8

15x = 113 + -8

Combine like terms: 113 + -8 = 105

15x = 105

Divide each side by '15'.

x = 7

Simplifying

x = 7

Solve for x. -3(x+n)=x
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

x = 3/4 n

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(x+n)=x

Distribute

-3x-3n = x

Add 3x to each side

-3x-3n+3x= x+3x

3n = 4x

Divide by 4

3/4n = 3x/3

3/4 n = x
