Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify. First, combine like terms:

3x - x + 2 = 12

(3x - x) + 2 = 12

(2x) + 2 = 12

2x + 2 = 12

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS =

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

& is your order of operation.

First, subtract 2 from both sides:

2x + 2 (-2) = 12 (-2)

2x = 12 - 2

2x = 10

Next, divide 2 from both sides:

(2x)/2 = (10)/2

x = 10/2

x = 5

5 is your answer for x.

Check: Plug in 5 for x in the equation. Solve:

3(5) - (5) + 2 = 12

15 - 5 + 2 = 12

10 + 2 = 12

12 = 12 (True)

IgorC [24]
--------------------------
Slope :
--------------------------
Slope = 5/8

--------------------------
Equation: 
--------------------------
y = 5/8 x + b

--------------------------
Find y-intercept :
--------------------------
At (8, 2), 
2 = 5/8 (8) + b
2 = 5 + b
b = 2 - 5
b = -3

--------------------------
Equation :
--------------------------
y = 5/8x - 3

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: y = 5/8 x - 3

Nathan launches a water balloon vertically from a platform on his roof. The height of the balloon (in feet) is represented by th
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

45.27feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height of the balloon (in feet) represented by the equation h=−16t2+28.7t+32.4, where t is the time (in seconds)

Note that the velocity of the balloon at maximum height is zero, hence;

v = dh/dt =0

-32t+28.7 = 0

-32t = -28.7

t = 28.7/32

t = 0.897secs

Get the maximum height

Recall that h=−16t²+28.7t+32.4

h = -16(0.897)²+28.7(0.897)+32.4

h= -12.87+25.74+32.4

h = 45.27feet

Hence the maximum height reached is 45.27feet

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Write 400% as the ratio 400/100. To find an equivalent ratio, you know that 400 divided by 20 is 20, so 100 divided by 20 will give you the answer. 100 ÷ 20 = 5. Reza ate 5 grapes yesterday.
