Hey there!

<h2>ANSWER: x=-3</h2><h2>EXPLANATION:</h2>

-3(x-4)=21

To solve, we will need to simplify this equation.

-3(x-4)=21\\

We will need to distribute.

(-3)(x)+(-3)(-4)=21\\\text{Equals:} -3x+12=21

Now we have to subtract 12 from both sides.

-3x+12-12=21-12\\\text{Equals:}-3x=9

In our last step, we have to divide both sides by -3 to get the answer.

\frac{-3x}{-3} =\frac{9}{-3}\\ \text{Equals: }x=-3

Hope this helps!

a catering service offers 6 appetizers, 10 main courses, and 8 desserts. A banquet committee is to select 2 appetizers, 3 main c
S_A_V [24]

There are two different answers that you could be looking for.
You might be asking how many different meals can be served at the banquet,
or you might be asking literally how many 'ways' there are to put meals together.

I'm going to answer both questions.  Here's how to understand the difference:

Say you have ten stones, and you tell me "I'll let you pick out two stones
and take them home.  How many ways can this be done ?"

For my first choice, I can pick any one of 10 stones.  For each of those . . .
I can pick any one of the 9 remaining stones for my second choice.
So the total number of 'ways' to pick out two stones is  (10 x 9) = 90 ways.

But let's look at 2 of those ways:
   -- If I pick stone-A first and then pick stone-G, I go home with 'A' and 'G'.
   -- If I pick stone-G first and then pick stone-A, I still go home with 'A' and 'G'.
There are two possible ways to pick the same pair.
In fact, there are two possible ways to pick <em><u>every</u></em> pair.
So there are 90 <em><u>ways</u></em> to pick a pair, but only 45 different pairs.

That's the reason for the difference between the number of <em><u>ways</u></em> the
committee can make their selections, and the number of different <em><u>meals</u></em>
they can put together for the banquet.

So now here's the answer to the question:

-- Two appetizers can be selected in (6 x 5) = 30 ways.
(But each pair can be selected in 2 of those ways,
so there are only 15 possible different pairs.)

-- Three main courses can be selected in (10 x 9 x 8) = 720 ways.
(But each trio can be selected in 3*2=6 of those ways,
so there are only 120 possible different trios.)

-- Two desserts can be selected in (8 x 7) = 56 ways.
(But each pair of them can be selected in 2 of those ways,
so there are only 28 possible different pairs.)

-- The whole line-up can be selected in (30 x 720 x 56) = <em>1,209,600 ways</em>.

But the number of different meals will be  (30 x 720 x 56) / (2 x 6 x 2) =

                                                                   (15 x 120 x 28) =  <em><u>50,400 meals</u></em>.

________is a ratio comparing two quantities with different kinds of units
V125BC [204]

Answer:

Rate

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate is basically also a ratio. but it is the comparing of two different quantities with different units.

As ratio is comparing of same or identical quantities thus it has no units. But on the other hand as rate is the comparison of different quantities, thus it has units.

for example:

When i compare two quantities, 1st is a distance quantity and 2nd is a time quantity i.e.

20 meters : 15 seconds

thus the lowest form of this relationship will be:

4 meters : 3 seconds

when i write it in Decimal form it becomes :

Ans : 1.33 meters/second   (Distance per unit time)

As this ratio have remaining units thus it is referred to as "RATE".

Mary ravi and Alan have a total of $62 in their wallets. Mary has $6 more than Ravi. Alan has 2 times what Mary has. How much do
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Marry = $17

Ravi = $11

Alan = $34

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume

Mary be X

Ravi be Y

Alan be Z

So, the equation in total is

X + Y + Z = 62

It is given that

X = Y + 6

Z = 2X

Now we put the Z value in the total equation, so it would be

X + Y + 2X = 62

3X + Y = 62  .................................... (1)

And can we write

X = Y + 6

X - Y = 6 ................................. (2)

Now substitution these two equations,

3X + Y = 62

X - Y = 6

2X = 68

X = $17

So, Z = 2 × 17 = $34

And, Y

$17 + Y + $34 = $62

So, Y = $11

Harlene tosses two number cubes. If a sum of 8 or 12 comes up, she gets 9 points. If not, she loses 2 points. What is the expect
Amanda [17]
P(8 or 12) = 1/6
P(not 8 or 12 = 5/6
Let the expected points fro one roll be X.
E(X)=9\times\frac{1}{6}-2\times\frac{5}{6}=-\frac{1}{6}\ points
The answer is -(1/6) points.
