The equation we'll use for this is:Total Gifts = Veronica's Gifts (v) + Natalie's Gifts (n).
12 = v + n
The problem says Veronica got 3 times as many gifts as Natalie.
You can directly translate this into an equation!
v = 3 * n = 3n.  This means we can replace any v with 3n.
So, 12 = v + n = 3n + n = 4n
12 = 4n
3 = n.  Natalie got 3 gifts.
We can now plug back in for Veronica's gifts:
v = 3n
v = 3(3)
v = 9.  Veronica got 9 gifts.

What is the solution to (x+6)(x+2)=60
Citrus2011 [14]
Distribute to eliminate the parenthesis

x^2 + 2x + 6x + 12 = 60

Combine like terms

x^2 + 8x + 12 = 60

Subtract 60 from both sides

x^2 + 8x - 48 = 0

Factor the equation

(x+12)(x-4)=0
x+12=0
x+4=0

x= -12 and -4

Pleas answer quickly
alexandr1967 [171]

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't understand, why there is this segment about the 0 degrees Kelvin.

any material, water or the glass the water is in, or the air, or the floor or the wall : the higher the temperature (the scale does not matter, as long both temperatures use the same), the more energy it contains (the faster the particles in that substance are moving/vibrating).

therefore a glass of water with 80 degrees will have much more energy than one with 20 degrees.

the same way an aluminum can (the actual name of that material is aluminium, but Americans seemingly cannot pronounce that) with 30 degrees has more energy than one with 20 degrees.
