12 = -4(-6x -3) +24

Mathematics
1 answer:
Reil [10]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

12 = 24 - 4 (-6 x - 3)

-4 (-6 x - 3) = 24 x + 12:

12 = 24 x + 12 + 24

Grouping like terms, 24 x + 12 + 24 = 24 x + (12 + 24):

12 = 24 x + (12 + 24)

12 + 24 = 36:

12 = 24 x + 36

12 = 24 x + 36 is equivalent to 24 x + 36 = 12:

24 x + 36 = 12

Subtract 36 from both sides:

24 x + (36 - 36) = 12 - 36

36 - 36 = 0:

24 x = 12 - 36

12 - 36 = -24:

24 x = -24

Divide both sides of 24 x = -24 by 24:

(24 x)/24 = (-24)/24

24/24 = 1:

x = (-24)/24

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

Answer:  x = -1

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

3/8 of the box

Step-by-step explanation:

On Friday Merinda uses 1/4 of the box of pancake mix to make pancakes.

On Saturday she uses 1 1/2 times as much pancake mix as Friday.

On Friday = 1/4 of the box

On Saturday = 1 1/2 × pancake mix as Friday

\dfrac{3}{2}\times \dfrac{1}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{3}{8}

Hence, 3/8 of the box of pancake mix does Merinda use on Saturday.

If s(x) = x – 7 and t(x) = 4x2 – x + 3, which expression is equivalent to
Vlada [557]
The answer is If you would like to find the expression that is equivalent to (t*s)(x), you can calculate this using the following steps:

s(x) = x - 7
t(x) = 4x^2 - x + 3

(t*s)(x) = t(s(x)) = t(x - 7) = <span>4(x - 7)^2 - (x - 7) + 3 = 4(x - 7)^2 - x + 7 + 3

The correct result would be </span>4(x – 7)2 – (x – 7) + 3.
