Answer:
x as a fraction: 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Variable x cannot be equal to −2 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 9(x+2), the least common multiple of 9,x+2.
2 ( x+ 2) = 9 x 3
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x + 2.
2x + 4 = 9 x 3
Multiply 9 and 3 to get 27.
2x + 4 = 27
Subtract 4 from both sides.
2x = 27 - 4
Subtract 4 from 27 to get 23.
2x = 23
Divide both sides by 2.
x = 
Simplify
11

Answer:
3x+4 Ralph is currently 12 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can find the equation by reading the scenario given. When you read it, it says that Ralph is 3 times as old as Sara and since her current age is going to be used to represent x you will first get 3x. That automatically eliminates the second and third choice given. It then says the equation is for Ralph's age in four years which means to add four to the equation. This gives you 3x+4 as your equation.
When something is tripled and then in a few years it is doubled, it is easiest to first try the number that is being added. So in this case the number is four. When you multiply 4 by 3 you get 12. If Sara is 4 she'll turn eight in four years and if Ralph is 12 he'll turn 16 in four years. 16 divided by 2 is 8 which shows you that Ralph is currently 12
Answer:
y=1/2x-4
Step-by-step explanation:
You are given the slope, 1/2. So you can plug it into the equation (y=mx+b)
You also need to plug in the x and y coordinate your given so you'll have
-3=1/2(2)+b. Then you solve for b, which is -4. You now have your answer, y=1/2x-4.
Answer:
50 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
because it is a parallelogram, angle B = angle D, and angle C = angle A
that means we have 130(2) = 260 degrees that we know.
the total interior angles of a parallelogram = 360
360 - 260 = 100 degrees left. BUT because those are the total amount of angles left, those are angles A and C combined, so you have to divide 100 in half to get the angle A/ angle DAB
100/2 = 50 degrees. hope this helps! leave a question if you are still confused.
