Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

10x-7x=12

3x=12

divide both sides by 3

x=4

Answer: x = 4

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this equation, we can first combine our like terms on the left side of the equation which are the x's.

10x - 7x = 3x so we now have the equation 3x = 12.

Now to solve for x, we want to get x by itself on the left side of the equation. Since x is being multiplied by 3, to get x by itself, we need to divide by 3 on the left side of the equation. Since we divided by 3 on the left side, we must also divide by 3 on the right side.

On the left side, notice that the 4's cancel out so we're simply left with x. On the right side we have 12 divided by 3 which is 4 so x = 4.

Finally, remember to check your answer by substituting a 4 back into the original equation.

So we have 10(4) - 7(4) = 12 or 40 - 28 = 12 or 12 = 12.

Since this a true statement, we know our answer is correct.

Remember to show all your work when solving equations.

I need help please...

hi hun!

From what I understand, ill explain to the best of my knowledge so u understand!

First. off they asked for "proportionality" basically asking for the rate it's growing at or weeks its taking.

I see that:

Flower 1: 6 inches

Flower 2: 10 inches

Flower 3: 14 inches

The proportionality which these flowers are growing at is 4 inches every two weeks.

And I also see:

Week 3

Week 5

Week 7

When u look closer u can see that the weeks are divisible by the inches for each of the flowers and each answer u get is 2!

And also just by looking at the weeks which are 2 weeks separate if u count them.

Week 3 would be:

6/3=2

Week 5 would be:

10/5=2

Week 7 would be:

14/7=2

so the proportionality is 2! c:

Given: △ABC, m∠B=90° AB=12, BC=16, BK ⊥ AC . Find: AC and BK. Please explain how to find out BK

Kryger [21]

Answer:

Given: △ABC, m∠B=90° AB=12, BC=16, BK ⊥ AC . Find: AC and BK.

Given: △ABC, m∠B=90°

Find: AC and BK.

Short leg 90 degrees Long leg Hypotenuse

AB=12 90 BC=16 AC= ?

AK = ? 90 BK = ? AB=12

AC = SQRT (AB*AB + BC*BC) = 20 [right triangle; Pythagorean Theorem]

Similar triangles:[Note: In diagram, share two angles. Therefore share three angles]

BK / 16 = AB / AC

BK / 16 = 12 / 20

BK = (3/5)16

BK = 48/5

another answer let see this

AB^2+BC^2=AC^2

12^2+16^2=AC^2

144+256=AC^2

400=AC^2

20=AC

Lenny rolls two number cubes. What is the probability that the sum of the numbers Lenny rolls is either 4 or 7?

Mashutka [201]

Probability of an event =

(number of ways the event can happen) / (total number of possible outcomes) .

Well, the total number of possible outcomes is easy. It's

(6 possibilities for the first cube) x (6 possibilities for the 2nd cube)

= 36 total possible ways for two cubes to roll.

Now, how many of those possibilities show either 4 or 7 ?

Well, here's how a 4 can come up:

1 . . . 3

2 . . . 2

3 . . . 1

and here's how a 7 can come up:

1 . . . 6

2 . . . 5

3 . . . 4

4 . . . 3

5 . . . 2

6 . . . 1 .

So there are 9 ways all together for Lenny to be successful.

The probability is (9/36) .

That's 1/4 , or 25% .
