Answer: x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3(x+14)=42

Distributive property

3x+42=42

Subtract 42 from both sides

3x=0

Divide 3 on both sides

x=0

----------------------------------------------------

Given

3(x+14)=42

Divide 3 on both sides

x+14=14

Subtract 14 on both sides

x=0

Both ways are fine

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

$3(x+14)=42$

Divide both sides by 3:

$x+14=14$

Subtract 14:

$x=0$

The value of x is 0

If 75 percent of the employees of a certain company take a winter vacation, 40 percent take a winter and a summer vacation, and

anyanavicka [17]

Answer: 5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of employees that took Winter vacation = 75%

The number of employees that took Both winter and summer vacation = 40%

The number that took Neither = 20

The total number of employees (%) =Winter + Summer - Both + Neither = 100%

75%+ Summer - 40%+ 20%= 100%

Solving for Summer = 45%

Now we are interested in the employees that took summer but not winter = Summer only = Summer - Both(i.e. summer overlap with winter) = 45%-40%= 5%

Find the solution by elimination method. <br>Please Help.

love history [14]

Answer:

I'm newbie here

Step-by-step explanation:

Elimination Method.

4x + 6/y = 15 → step 1

6x - 8/y = 14 → step 2

so,

4x + 6/y = 15 |×6|

6x - 8/y = 14 |×4|

24x + 6/y(6) = 90

24x - 8/y(4) = 56

24x + 36/y = 90

24x - 32/y = 56

____________ _

68/y = 34

68 = 34y

34y = 68

y = 2

subsitution y = 2 to..

4x + 6/y = 15

4x + 6/2 = 15

4x + 3 = 15

4x = 12

x = 3

So, for x is 3, and for y is 2
