How do I find what x equals

Mathematics
1 answer:
Jobisdone [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

basically, you get x to one side and the number to another side, then simplify. For example, 3x-2=x+6. The steps are:

2x-2=6, here we brought the x to the other side by subtracting an x from each side. Since the x was positive (adding) we subtract x from each side.

2x=8, we did the same thing but added 2 to each side since -2+2=0, and now it is on the other side.

x=4, 2x means x times 2, so you would divide each side by 2.

In short, put x on one side and number on the other by doing the opposite of what something says, remove multiplication or division by doing the opposite. You must always do it on both sides, or it is not an equation.

One month, ruby worked 8 hours more than isaac, and svetlana worked 4 times as many hours as ruby. together they worked 136 hour
Travka [436]

Let Issac work for x hours, and Ruby works 8 hours more than of Issac, so Ruby work for (x+8) hours.

And Svetlana worked four times of Ruby, therefore Svetlana worked for

4(x+8) hours

And total hours they worked together is 136. That is

x+x+8 + 4(x+8) = 136
\\
x+x+8 +4x+32=136
\\
6x+40 =136
\\
6x=96
\\
x =16 hours

So Issac worked for 16 hours, Ruby worked for 24 hours and Svetlana worked for 24 times 4 equals 96 hours .

How do i solve for x​
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

x=58

Step-by-step explanation:

1) You have to remember all triangles have to equal 180 degrees

2) You have to know that the box on the left-hand corner of the triangle means it's angle measure is 90 degrees

3) After knowing this you can already add 32+90 and get 122 degrees (32+90=122)

4)Now remember step 1; so you subtract 122 from 180 like so (180-122)

5) After doing so you will get the answer of 58 degrees (180-122=58)

6) So now you solution is x=58

If you liked my answer please mark it as the brainliest that would be much appreciated. Thanks! :D

For each 24 mm of coloured fabric Gordon uses to make his curtains, he also uses 1.2 cm of white fabric. Express the amount of w
swat32

Answer:

1 : 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

amount of coloured fabric Gordon use to make his curtain = 24mm

amount of white fabric Gordon use to make his curtain = 1.2cm

To find,

ratio of the amount of white fabric to coloured fabric

1 cm = 10mm

1.2 cm = 1.2 * 10

           = 12 mm

<h3>Ratio</h3>

12 / 24

1 / 2

1 : 2

So, ratio of the amount of white fabric to coloured fabric is 1 : 2
