K (3x - 2) = 4 - 6x Find the value of k

Mathematics
1 answer:
svlad2 [7]3 years ago
5 0

Hello!

In this case, you are looking for a value of K so the left side of the equation is equal to the right.

The left side of the equation is K (3x - 2), and the right is 4 - 6x. To get the left side to equal the right, you can set K = -2. This is because of the <u>distributive property</u>: a number just outside of the parenthesis can distribute to everything in the parenthesis like so:

-2 (3x - 2) = (-2 * 3x) - (-2 * -2) = -6x + 4

Therefore, your answer is K = -2.

Hope this helps!

(Side note: a better way to do this would be to divide both sides by 3x - 2)

Akimi4 [234]

Answer: The correct answer is $ 134.42 for the gas and the rental.

Step-by-step explanation: The trip is 432 miles and Tameka's car gets 35 miles to the gallon. So we have to figure out how many gallons we would use for the entire trip by dividing 432 by 35= 12.34 gallons of gas.

We know gas is $2.79 a gallon so we multiply 2.79 (cost per gallon) x 12.34 ( our total gallons used) =$34.43 in gasoline.

The rental costs $99.99 so we add that cost and the cost of the gas $34.43= $134.42 the total cost of the rental and the gas.
