Answer: x=-17


Step-by-step explanation:

We first distribute the -12 across to the (x+5)

144=-12(x+5)

144=-12x-60

Then, we add 60 to both sides.

204 = -12x

Lastly, we divide the equation by -12.

204/-12 = -12x/-12

-17 = x

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

114=-12(x+5)

Use the Distributive Property of Multiplication (distribute the -12 to the x and 5).

144=-12x-60

Add 60 to both sides of the equal sign to get -12x by itself.

144+60=-12x-60+60

204=-12x

Divide both sides of the equal sign to isolate the variable.

204/-12=-12x/-12

-17=x (<<<Answer)

Leslie buys a new pair of sneakers for
telo118 [61]

Answer:

$43 + $6l

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

She spends $43 and bus several $6 laces.

We don't know how many she buys, but we know that we can represent that number using <em>l</em>.

That means she spends $43 + $6l.

The algebraic expression is $43 + $6l.

We can determine the price if we know the number of laces she buys. We can simply plug in the number of laces she bought, and we can plug it in for l in the equation.

Can anyone plzzzz help me with this question of linear equation in two varaiable plzzzzzz... Its very important... Plz solve it
kotegsom [21]

That's not a linear system, but you have an awesome school system for giving you this problem.

\dfrac 5 y - \dfrac 2 x = \dfrac{13}6

Multiply by 6xy to clear the fractions.

30x - 12y = 13 xy

That's a second degree equation, also known as a conic.  That one happens to be a hyperbola.  

30x = y(13 x +12)

y = \dfrac{30x}{13 x + 12}

Let's clear the fractions from the second equation, multiplying out common denominator xy:

\dfrac {36} x - \dfrac {24} y = 1

36y - 24 x = xy

We are being asked to find the meet of two hyperbolas, so we expect two answers, a quadratic equation.

Substituting,

36 \left( \dfrac{30x}{13 x + 12} \right) - 24 x = x \left( \dfrac{30x}{13 x + 12} \right)

36(30x) -24 x(13x + 12) = 30x^2

1080 x - 312 x^2- 288 x = 30x^2

x(792 - 342 x)= 0

x = 0 \textrm{ or } x=792/342 = \dfrac{44}{19}

We have to rule out x=0 because it's in the denominator.

y = \dfrac{30x}{13 x + 12} = \dfrac{30(44/19)}{13(44/19)+12}

y = \dfrac{33}{20}

Answer: (44/19, 33/20)
