12 - x = 20 - 5x

You see that -x and -5x both have an 'x' variable? This means they are 'like' terms. To get -x to the other side, we must add (if like terms are on opposite sides, do the opposite of what the sign says, e.g. - will be +)

12 = 20 - 4x

Now move 20 to the other side. Remember, do the opposite! Since 20 is positive, we must minus 20 to the other side.

-8 = -4x

To get x by itself, you will need to get rid of the coefficient of -4. -4x basically means -4 times x, so the opposite of that would be divide! Divide by -4

2 = x (Since both sides have a negative, they cancel out to give a positive)
x = 2

What is the remainder in the division problem
Cerrena [4.2K]
I believe the answer is 2, the 3 large circles are filled with 5 dots each, the total number of dots is 17. 15 is the number closest to 17 that can be divided by 3 therefore there would be 2 left over (the 2 dots on the outside)

Answer:

The second function represents an even function; g(x)=2x^{2} +1

Step-by-step explanation:

A function f(x) is said to be even if f(x) = f(-x). All we need to do is replace x with -x in each equation, simplify it and assess whether the equation remains unchanged. If  the equation is identical to the original one then it is said to be even. Another good example of an even function is the cosine function. Moreover, even functions have y-axis symmetry

Given the points A (-4,-2) and B (4, 10), find the
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

  P = (2, 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find coordinates of P on segment AB such that P is 3/4 is of the way from A to B.

<h3>Equation for P</h3>

For some fraction q of the distance from A to B, the point P that lies at that fraction of the distance is given by ...

  P = A +q(B -A) = (1 -q)A +qB

<h3>Application</h3>

For q = 3/4, the location of P is ...

  P = (1 -3/4)A + 3/4B = (A +3B)/4

Using the given point coordinates, we have ...

  P = ((-4, -2) +3(4, 10))/4 = (-4 +12, -2 +30)/4 = (8, 28)/4

  P = (2, 7)
