Answer:

x=1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-5(x-2)=12x+4-x

4x-5x+10=12x-x+4

-x+10=11x+4

-x-11x+10=4

-12x+10=4

-12x=4-10

-12x=-6

12x=6

x=6/12

simplify

x=1/2

Answer: x = 1/2

Explanation :

First write the equation as you see it:

4x-5(x-2)=12x+4-x

Next do the math in the parentheses:

4x-5x+10=12x-x+4

Combine the x’s:

-12x+10=4

Switch the 10 and put it on the other side:

-12x=4-10

Change to negative to positive:

12x=6

Divide:

x=6/12

Simplify

x=1/2

Thus, you answer is x = 1/2

Hope this helps! :)

A system of equations is shown below. Which ordered pair represents the solution to the system
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is (-5,-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Both of the equations are in standard form, so first you set them equal to each other.

2. Solve for x as a normal algebraic equation.

3. Back substitute your answer for x into one of the original equations. (back substitution is just putting the x back into the equation and solving for y.)

4. Now you have your x and y coordinates, and the point of intersection of the two lines.

A printer designs a tag in the shape of a circle with a smaller circle cut out. She cuts her prototype from a 5 in. by a 7 in. i
Nonamiya [84]

The circumference of the larger circle is about 12.57 inches. The circumference of the smaller circle is about 3.14 inches. So, the total length of gold leaf on a tag is approximately 15.71 inches.

<h3>How to illustrate the circle?</h3>

The circumference will be:

= 2πr

= 2 × 3.14 × 2

= 12.57 inches.

The circumference of the smaller circle will be:

= 2πr

= 2 × 3.14 × 0.5

= 3.14

The total length will be:

= 12.57 + 3.14

= 15.71 inches.
