3+2x=y
6y=5x+4
6(3+2x)=5x+4
18+12x=5x+4
14+12x=5x
14=-7x
-2=x
the number is -2

<h3>Answer:</h3>

$x = \frac{8}{7}$

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

$10 - \frac{1}{2} x = 6 + 3x$

$20 - x = 12 + 6x$

$20 - x - 6x = 12 + 6x - 6x$

$20 - x - 6x = 12$

$- x - 6x = 12 - 20$

$- 7x = 12 - 20$

$- 7x = - 8$

$x = \frac{8}{7}$

Answer:

(-2, 5), (-2, -19), (5.2, 2.6)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can add ±12 to either the x- or the y-coordinate, as was done in the first two answers above.

Or, you can figure the side lengths of a triangle with hypotenuse 12 and add those to the coordinates. For example, a 3-4-5 right triangle multiplied by 2.4 will have side lengths of 7.2, 9.6 and a hypotenuse of 12. Hence we can find one of your end points to be ...

(-2+7.2, -7+9.6) = (5.2, 2.6)
