8(x - 6) = 4x
Distribute.
8x - 48 = 4x
Subtract 8x from both sides.
8x -8x - 48 =4x -8x
Now you have...
-48 = -4x
Divide -4 by both sides.
-48/-4 = -4x/-4
12 = x
The number is 12.

Answer:  12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

Given statement: 8 times the difference between a number and 6 is equal to 4 times the number.

then, the required equation :

8(x-6)=4x

Divide both sides by 4 , we gte

\dfrac{8(x-6)}{4}=\dfrac{4x}{4}

Simplify

2(x-6)=x

Multiply 2 inside the parenthesis.

2x-12=x

Subtract x and add 12 on both sides , we gte

2x-x-12+12=x-x+12

Simplify

x=12

Hence, the number is <u>12</u>.

Select the multiplication sentence that applies the commutative property of multiplication to the example.
Whitepunk [10]

Answer : A

Example: 5 × 8 = 40

A.  8 × 5 = 40

the commutative property of multiplication allows us to multiply the numbers in any order without changing the product. In example we have 5 * 8 . When we change the order it becomes 8 * 5. So here applies commutative property of multiplication.

B.  10 × 4 = 40

the commutative property of multiplication allows us to multiply the numbers in any order without changing the product. In example we have 5 * 8 . When we change the order it becomes 8 * 5. So here it does not applies commutative property of multiplication.

C.  20 × 2 = 40

the commutative property of multiplication allows us to multiply the numbers in any order without changing the product. In example we have 5 * 8 . When we change the order it becomes 8 * 5. So here it does not  applies commutative property of multiplication.

What is the value of x PLEASE HELP
Sindrei [870]

Answer: X= 30

Step-by-step explanation: So I must admit that is a really weird place to put that line, but if this is a complementary angle and the first angle is 30 degrees, then the other angle should be 60 degrees. 60/2 is 30, so therefore x=30

Pls answer for brainlest and 50 points PLEASE EXPLAIN <br><br> In image
Mumz [18]
Answer: C) 163

Step-by-Step Solution:

In the Right Triangle formed to the extreme right, lets mark the angles as
∠1, ∠2 and ∠3.

Therefore, from the Figure :-

∠1 = 73°
∠2 = 90°

By Angle Sum Property :-

∠3 = 180 - (73 + 90)
∠3 = 180 - 163
=> ∠3 = 17°

The Angle which forms a Linear Pair with ∠3 is the Corresponding Angle of ∠r, and Corresponding Angles are Equal.

Therefore,
=> 180 - ∠3
= 180 - 17
=> 163°

Therefore, the Angle that forms the Linear Pair with ∠3 is 163°

This Angle is Corresponding to ∠r and hence they are Equal ie. ∠r = 163°

Hence, ∠r = 163°
