You use the distributive property to simplify:

-2+12x (two negatives equal a positive)=-5+8

Now we add like terms:
-2+12x=3

Next we add -2 to both sides to separate the variable:

12x=5

x=5/12

I hope this helps!

Answer:

x=\frac{5}{12}

Step-by-step explanation:

  -2(1-6x)=(-5+8)

⇔

   -2+12x=3

⇔

   12x = 3+2

⇔

  12x = 5

⇔

   x = 5/12

To determine the number of beavers in a conservation​ area, a researcher catches and marks 119 beavers. Then the researcher rele
romanna [79]

Let x be the total number of beavers. We mark 119 out of x beavers. Then, we found 39 marked beaver out of 89 caught beavers. So, if we build the proportion

119 \div x = 39 \div 89

we get, solving for x,

x = \dfrac{119\cdot 89}{39} \approx 272

So, it is reasonable to suppose that there are about 272 beavers in total. Note that this is an estimate, both numerically and conceptually, since we have no information about the set of beavers caught at the beginning and the end of our experiment.

Determine operating cost per mile. Choose the right answer.
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer: $0.1428/mi or about 14 cents per mile

Steps:

While the cost of car = $5,000.00 is not an operating cost, the annual decrease of value is. So, given that the market value after 1 year = $3,800, the value loss is 5000-3800=$1200 for the year.

Add cost of gas and oil = $750.00, Repairs/Maintenance = $250.00, Insurance = $300.00, to get $2500 total operating cost.

The cost per mile is $2500/17500 miles = $0.1428/mi or about 14 cents per mile
