Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the problem, you have to leave the x alone,

To do so, you have to add 84 on each side

12x = 4x + 96

Then, subtract 4x on each side,

8x = 96

Then divide each side by 8, so

x = 12

Hope it helps!!

Let me know if I'm wrong or you need help on anything else!!

Also, if you're okay with it, can you plz make be brainliest?

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

12x - 84 = 4x + 12

We want to move x to one side and all other values to the other side of the equal sign

Add 84 to both sides of the equation

12x - 84 + 84 = 4x + 12 + 84

Simplify

12x = 4x + 96

Subtract 4x from both sides

12x - 4x = 4x - 4x + 96

Simplify

8x = 96

Divide both sides by 8

8x /8 = 96/8

Simplify

x = 12

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-10+sqrt2x+1 = -5

sqrt2x+1 = -5+10

sqrt2x+1 = 5

2x+1 = sqrt5

2x = sqrt5-1

x = (sqrt5-1)/2

In the diagram below, assume that all points are given in rectangular coordinates. Determine the polar coordinates for each poin

Korolek [52]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have cartisean points. We are trying to find polar points.

We can find r by applying the pythagorean theorem to the x value and y values.

$r {}^{2} = {x}^{2} + {y}^{2}$

And to find theta, notice how a right triangle is created if we draw the base(the x value) and the height(y value). We also just found our r( hypotenuse) so ignore that. We know the opposite side and the adjacent side originally. so we can use the tangent function.

$\tan(x) = \frac{y}{x}$
