3( x - 1 ) = 2 x + 5

Expand 3(x-1) :

3*x - 3 x 1

3 x - 3 = 2 x + 5

Add 3 both sides :

3 x - 3 + 3 = 2 x + 5 + 3

3 x = 2 x + 8

3x - 2 x = 8

x = 8

hope this helps!

Find the distance of the line segment joining the two points (-4 /2 - /12) and (/32, 2/3)

astraxan [27]

Answer: $4\sqrt{3}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance formula : Distance between points (a,b) and (c,d) is given by :-

$D=\sqrt{(d-b)^2+(b-a)^2}$

Distance between points $(-4\sqrt{2},\sqrt{12}) \text{ and }(-\sqrt{32}, 2\sqrt{3})$ .

$D=\sqrt{(2\sqrt{3}-(-\sqrt{12}))^2+(-\sqrt{32}-(-4\sqrt{2}))}\\\\=\sqrt{(2\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2\times2\times3})^2+(-\sqrt{4\times4\times2}+4\sqrt{2})^2}\\\\=\sqrt{(2\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2^2\times3})^2+(-\sqrt{4^2\times2}+4\sqrt{2})^2}\\\\=\sqrt{(2\sqrt{3}+2\sqrt{3})^2+(-4\sqrt{2}+4\sqrt{2})^2}\\\\=\sqrt{(4\sqrt{3})^2+0}\\\\=4\sqrt{3}\text{ units}$

Hence, the correct option is $4\sqrt{3}$ .

1.) 4 - t = 3(t - 1) - 5
4 - t = 3t - 3 - 5
4 - t = 3t - 8
3t + t = 4 + 8
4t = 12
t = 12/4 = 3

2.) 8x - 2(x + 1) = 2(3x - 1)
8x - 2x - 2 = 6x - 2
6x - 2 = 6x - 2
0 = 0
solution is identity.

3.) 3(c - 2) = 2(c - 6)
3c - 6 = 2c - 12
3c - 2c = -12 + 6
c = -6

4.) 0.5(m + 4) = 3(m - 1)
0.5m + 2 = 3m - 3
3m - 0.5m = 2 + 3
2.5m = 5
m = 5/2.5 = 2
m = 2
