2(3x-4) = 5x+6
First, expand the bracket.
6x-8=5x+6
Next, move the variables to the same side.
x-8=6
Move the -8 to the other side, change to +
x=6+8
x=14
Charlie’s solution is incorrect. When expanding the bracket, he changed the - to a +.
The slope is 3?? if yes, use the formula y=mx+b and plug in the slope and y int y=3x+3
Answer:
-4x=4+4
x=8/-4
x= -2
not sure how I'm supposed to verify
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
28=8+5x
20=5x
=4
four is your answer
The last pair of numbers bracket the point 3/7.
12/32 = 3/8 < 3/7
15/18 = 5/6 > 3/7
_____
3/7 ≈ 0.428571... (repeating), so will be larger than 3/8 = 0.375, 12/32 = 3/8, and 4/10. That is, 3/7 is larger than the largest number of each pair except the last.
------
You can always compare two fractions to see which is larger by cross-multiplying. That is a/b vs c/d gives the same result as ad vs bc. (Put the product on the numerator side of the comparison.)
Here, that would mean comparing 12/32 vs 3/7, we would get 12·7 vs 3·32, or 84 vs 96. The fraction on the left is smaller.
Comparing 3/7 vs 15/18, we would get 3·18 vs 7·15, or 54 vs 105. The fraction on the right is larger.
