Distribute 2 to x and -2, and -6 to x and -2

2(x - 2) = 2x - 4

-6(x - 2) = -6x + 12

2x - 4 = 4x - 6x + 12

Simplify. Combine like terms

2x - 4 = (4x - 6x) + 12

2x - 4 = -2x + 12

Isolate the x. Add 4 to both sides, and 2x to both sides

2x (+2x) - 4 (+4) = -2x (+2x) + 12 (+4)

2x + 2x = 12 + 4

Simplify

4x = 16

Isolate the x. Divide 4 from both sides

4x/4 = 16/4

x = 16/4

x = 4

4 is your answer for x.

hope this helps

-9x-6y=15,9x-10y=145

vazorg [7]

-9x-6y=15

9x-10y=145

Find y first by eliminating the x.

Add the two equations together.

-9x+9x-6y+-10y=15+145

-6y+-10y=15+145

-6y-10y=160

-16y=160

divide both sides by -16 to get +y

-16y/-16=160/-16

y=-10

Use the substitution method to find x

-9x-6y=15

-9x-6(-10)=15

Do the bracket first

-9x+60=15

Move +60 to the other side. Sign changes from +60 to -60.

-9x+60-60=15-60

-9x=-45

Divide both sides by -9

-9x/-9=-45/-9

x=5

Lori buys a $400 certificate deposit that earns 1.8% interest compounded monthly how much will a cd be worth in six years

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

$1445.11

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to use would be:

$F=P(1+r)^t$

Where

F is the future amount (what we want to find)

P is the present (principal) amount (this is 400)

r is the rate of interest, monthly (1.8% or 0.018)

t is the time in months (6 years = 6 * 12 = 72)

Now substituting, we get:

$F=P(1+r)^t\\F=400(1+0.018)^{72}\\F = 400(1.018)^{72}\\F=1445.11$

After 6 years, the CD will be worth $1445.11

A bag contains 8 black marbles and 20 yellow marbles. You reach into the bag and pull out a black marble. Then you reach into th

sveticcg [70]

You have a bag containing 8 + 20 = 28 marbles.

After you pull a black marble you have 28 - 1 = 27 remaining marbles.

There are 20 yellow marbles in the bag.

The probability of pulling a yellow marble is now

$\frac{20}{27} which \: is \: approximately \: equal \: to \\ 74.07\%$
