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
Answer:
4/3 ft
Corrected question;
Francine has a piece of wood that is five 5/12 feet long she uses three 1/4 feet of the wood from a science project how much for just Francine have left.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
Francine has a piece of wood that is five 5/12 feet long.
Total amount of wood T = 5 × 5/12 ft = 25/12 ft
she uses three 1/4 feet of the wood from a science project.
Amount of wood Used U = 3 × 1/4 = 3/4 ft
The amount of wood left equals the total amount of wood minus the amount of wood used;
The amount of wood left L = T - U = 25/12 - 3/4
L = 25/12 - 9/12
L = 16/12
L = 4/3 ft
