Answer: x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Distribute the 3 into the parenthesis

     3x - 18 + 6 = 5x - 6

2. Combine like terms (on the left side of the equation

    3x - 12 = 5x - 6

3. Add 6 to both sides to get rid of the -6 on the right side

    3x - 6 = 5x

4. Subtract 3x from both sides to get rid of the 3x from the left side

    -6 = 2x

5. Divide both sides by 2

    -3 = x

Answer:

x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3(x−6)+6=5x−6

(3)(x)+(3)(−6)+6=5x+−6(Distribute)

3x+−18+6=5x+−6

(3x)+(−18+6)=5x−6(Combine Like Terms)

3x+−12=5x−6

3x−12=5x−6

Step 2: Subtract 5x from both sides.

3x−12−5x=5x−6−5x

−2x−12=−6

Step 3: Add 12 to both sides.

−2x−12+12=−6+12

−2x=6

Step 4: Divide both sides by -2.

−2x

−2

=

6

−2

x=−3

This is a picture of a cube and the net for the cube.
makvit [3.9K]

I cant give you the answer without the picture but I can tell you how to solve it.

if all the sides are the same length just multiply one of the numbers by the sides, for example, a rubics cube is 9 cm on each side. 9*6=54, so the answer would be 54 cm

Now that Oakland Auto Reapir has a different owner, its mechanics make $14.20 per hour. That is 25.1% less than they originally
Serhud [2]

Answer:

$18.96

Step-by-step explanation:

Now the mechanics earn $14.2 per hour, which is 25.1% less than before.

If we say that the earnings before were 100% (to facilitate our calculation and understand better), now the earrings are (100-25.1)%=74.9%. This is, now they make the 74.9% of what they used to made.

So:

74.9% = 14.2

Let's multiply both sides by 100%/74.9% to make a 100% appear at the left side (see that multiply and divide by 74.9 will make it desapear):

74.9% *(100%/74.9%) = 14.2 * (100%/74.9%)

100% = 14.2 * (100%/74.9%)

And (100%/74.9%) is equal to 1/0.749, they are the same. So:

100% = 14.2 * 1/0.749

100% = 18.96

So, before the new manager they used to make $18.96. (you can verify by multiplying it by 74.9% and the result is 14.2)
