Answer:

z = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for z:

(z + 4)/3 - 6 = (2 (5 - z))/3

Put each term in (z + 4)/3 - 6 over the common denominator 3: (z + 4)/3 - 6 = (z + 4)/3 - 18/3:

(z + 4)/3 - 18/3 = (2 (5 - z))/3

(z + 4)/3 - 18/3 = ((z + 4) - 18)/3:

(z - 18 + 4)/3 = (2 (5 - z))/3

Add like terms. 4 - 18 = -14:

(z - 14)/3 = (2 (5 - z))/3

Multiply both sides by 3:

(3 (z - 14))/3 = (3×2 (5 - z))/3

(3 (z - 14))/3 = 3/3×(z - 14) = z - 14:

z - 14 = (3×2 (5 - z))/3

(3×2 (5 - z))/3 = 3/3×2 (5 - z) = 2 (5 - z):

z - 14 = 2 (5 - z)

Expand out terms of the right hand side:

z - 14 = 10 - 2 z

Add 2 z to both sides:

2 z + z - 14 = (2 z - 2 z) + 10

2 z - 2 z = 0:

2 z + z - 14 = 10

z + 2 z = 3 z:

3 z - 14 = 10

Add 14 to both sides:

3 z + (14 - 14) = 14 + 10

14 - 14 = 0:

3 z = 10 + 14

10 + 14 = 24:

3 z = 24

Divide both sides of 3 z = 24 by 3:

(3 z)/3 = 24/3

3/3 = 1:

z = 24/3

The gcd of 24 and 3 is 3, so 24/3 = (3×8)/(3×1) = 3/3×8 = 8:

Answer:  z = 8

\dfrac{1}{3}(z+4)-6=\dfrac{2}{3}(5-z)\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 3}\\\\\not3^1\cdot\dfrac{1}{\not3_1}(z+4)-3\cdot6=\not3^1\cdot\dfrac{2}{\not3_1}(5-z)\\\\1(z+4)-18=2(5-z)\qquad\text{use distributive property}\\\\z+4-18=(2)(5)-(2)(z)\\\\z-14=10-2z\qquad\text{add 14 to both sides}\\\\z=24-2z\qquad\text{add 2z to both sides}\\\\3z=24\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\\\\boxed{z=8}

Translate each sentence into a formula

1) Perimeter=2length+2width
This is the formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangle

2) Density=mass/volume
The “Quotient” is the answer to a division problem (like how the “sum” is the answer to an addition problem) which is why we know to divide mass and volume

3) Force = mass*acceleration
The “product” is the answer to a multiplication problem which is why we know to multiply mass and acceleration

4) surface area = 6*L^2
The formula used to calculate the area of a square is L^2. The problem tells us that surface area is the sum of all the faces of a 3D shape. Because there are 6 sides on a cube, we multiply L^2 by 6.

Hope this helps!

15. (3x + 6) - (3x - 6)
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute the negative which would get your 3x + 6 -3x + 6. The 3x would cancel out and you would add 6+6 = 12

Is 10.846 an integer ​
yulyashka [42]

Hello!

An integer is defined as a number which is not a fraction or irrational. It should be able to be written out as just a number, without a decimal point or additional fraction. (It can have a negative sign) For example, a few integers would be 2, 5, -8, and 9109, while some non-integers would be 3.1, 3 3/2, and 5i.

In this case, 10.846 is not an integer, as it has a decimal.

Hope this helps!
