Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

3\left(2x-4\right)=4\left(x+1\right)

Expand:

3\times 2x-3\times 4=4x+4\times 1

6x-12=4x+4

Add 12 to both sides:

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

6x=4x+16

Subtract 4x from both sides:

6x-4x=4x+16-4x

2x=16

Divide both sides by 2:

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{16}{2}

x=8

What is the solution of 2x-y=9
Sedaia [141]
<span>Simplifying 2x + -1y = 9 Solving 2x + -1y = 9 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add 'y' to each side of the equation. 2x + -1y + y = 9 + y Combine like terms: -1y + y = 0 2x + 0 = 9 + y 2x = 9 + y Divide each side by '2'. x = 4.5 + 0.5y Simplifying x = 4.5 + 0.5y

Hope this helps :)

Heather has $500 in her savings account. She withdraws $20 per week for gas. Write an equation Heather can use to see how many w
tatuchka [14]
Since she has a base amount of $500, that will be your y-intercept. 20 is going to be your slope, and since she's withdrawing it, it will be -20. Here's how the equation would be set up (in y = mx + b):

-20x + 500 = 220

*Subtract 500 from both sides*

-20x = -280

*Divide both sides by -20*

x = 14.

Therefore, it will take 14 weeks.

Find the measure of ∠3.
Shkiper50 [21]

This is a kite due to the adjacent congruent sides (shown by the tickmarks). With any kite, the diagonals are perpendicular. So angle 3 is 90 degrees.

<h3>Answer: 90 degrees</h3>
