Let's solve this problem step-by-step.

2(4x+2)=4x−12(x−1)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(4x+2)=4x−12(x−1)

(2)(4x)+(2)(2)=4x+(−12)(x)+(−12)(−1)(Distribute)

8x+4=4x+−12x+12

8x+4=(4x+−12x)+(12)(Combine Like Terms)

8x+4=−8x+12

Step 2: Add 8x to both sides.

8x+4+8x=−8x+12+8x

16x+4=12

Step 3: Subtract 4 from both sides.

16x+4−4=12−4

16x=8

Step 4: Divide both sides by 16.

16x/16=8/16

So, the answer for this problem is x=1/2.

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

8x+4=4x-12x+12

Terry needs to carry a pole that

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Yes, The pole will fit through the door because the diagonal width of the door is 10.8 feet, which is longer than the length of the pole.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, ( $a^2+b^2=c^2$ ) we can measure the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Since the doorway is a rectangle, and a rectangle cut diagonally is a right triangle, we can use Pythagorean Theorem to measure the diagonal width of the doorway.

Plug in the values of the length and width of the door for a and b. The c value will represent the diagonal width of the doorway:

$6^2+9^2=c^2$

$36+81=c^2$

$117=c^2$

Since 117 is equal to the value of c multiplied by c, we must find the square root of 117 to find the value of c.

$\sqrt{117} =10.8$

$10.8=c$

Yes, The pole will fit through the door because the diagonal width of the door is 10.8 feet, which is longer than the length of the pole, measuring 10 feet.

2. Al and Ike decide to drive to Sandy Shores Lake. As they leave home in Summerville, they notice that the car odometer reads 1

Lilit [14]

When they leave home, odometer reads 12,544.....when they arrive in Winterton, the odometer reads 12,671.....this means they have already driven (12,671 - 12,544) = 127 miles.....and now they have 48 more miles to go......so the trip to Sandy Shores from Summerville is (127 + 48) = 175 miles
