-2(3x+12)=72 what does x equal

Mathematics
2 answers:
Nata [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: X = -16

Step-by-step explanation:

You distribute -6 to "3x" and "12" (-6x + -24 = 72)

add +24 to -24 and do the same to 72 (-6x = 96)

divide -6 by -6 to X by itself, and then divide 96 by -6 (x = -16)

hope this helps.

If f(x) = 3x - 2 and g(x) = 2x + 1, find (f - g)(x)
morpeh [17]

Answer:

(f-g)(x) = x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 3x-2

and

g(x) = 2x+1

We have to find (f-g)(x)

So,

(f-g)(x) = f(x)-g(x)

= 3x-2 - (2x+1)

= 3x-2-2x-1

=x-3

Hence,

(f-g)(x) = x-3

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line passing through E(-1,6) and F(-2,-10)?
STatiana [176]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

E(-1,6)  & F(-2,-10)

Slope = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\\\\  \  \ \ = \frac{-10-6}{-2-[-1]}\\

=\frac{-10-6}{-2+1}\\\\=\frac{-16}{-1}\\\\= 16

Slope of the line perpendicular to this line = -1/m =  -1/16

Calculate the surface area of this box.
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

36 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

S.A. = 2 (lw + wh + lh)

S.A. = 2 ((4)(2) + (2)(2) + (4)(2))

S.A. = 2 (8 + 4 + 6)

S.A. = 2 (18)

S.A. = 36
