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

16. Construct 3 equations starting with x = 5.

strojnjashka [21]

TO FIND:  construct 3 equation starting with x=5?

SOLUTION: 

The equation is in the form of variable and constant equating.

Let the equation be x=5.

TO CREATE AN EQUATION,

FIRST WE ADD 5 BOTH SIDe,

x + 5=5+5

=x + 5=10

SECOND WE SUBRACT 5 BOTH SIDE,

x — 5=5—5

=x—5=0

THIRD WE MULTIPLY 5 BOTH SIDE,

5x=5×5

=5x=25

well u got the answer!

Mrs. Robinson, an insurance agent, earns a salary of $4,800 per year plus a 3% commission on her sales. The average price of a p

Answer:

Required inequality is $4800+183x>8000$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Mrs. Robinson, an insurance agent, earns a salary of $4,800 per year plus a 3% commission on her sales. The average price of a policy she sells is $6,100. Write an inequality to find how many policies Mrs. Robinson must sell to make an annual income of at least $8,000.

Calculation is given by:

Salary per year = $4,800

Average price of a policy = $6,100.

commission on her sales = 3%

Then commission on $6,100 = 3% of $6,100 = 0.03 ($6,100) = $183

Let number of policies Mrs. Robinson must sell to make an annual income of at least $8,000 = x

then total commission on x policies = 183x

Total income using x policies = 4800+183x

Since she wants to make an annual income of at least $8,000. so we can write inequality as:

$4800+183x>8000$

Hence required inequality is $4800+183x>8000$ .

What is the area of the sector shown in the diagram below?

Step2247 [10]

The formula to find the area of a sector = Ф*r²/2

Ф to be in radian, here Ф=45° =π/4

sector = 1/2(π/4)x 100
sector = 39.27 ≈39.3° (B)
