How do you solve 144= -12(x+5)

Mathematics

allsm [11]3 years ago

First you would distribute the -12 to x and 5.
You would get -12x-60=144. Now solve for x.
Add 60 on both sides. (Do the inverse)
You get -12x=204
Then divide by -12 on both sides.
Answer: x=-17

First, you distribute -12 to the (x+5) leaving you with the equation 144 = -12x-60. Then you cancel out the 60 by adding 60 to both sides of the equation. After that your equation will be 204 = -12x. Last you divide both sides by -12 to cancel out the 12 and get your answer (x = -17).

Consider the two properties that you would use to solve an equation like 3x + 5 = 26. Which of the following is true? The standa
gladu [14]
The subtraction property of equality: if we subtract one side of the equation then we also must subtract from the other side of the equation.
The division property of equality: if we divide one side of the equation by a number then we also must divide the other side by the same number.
For this equation:
3 x + 5 = 26
3 x + 5 - 5 = 26 - 5        ( the Subtraction Property of Equality )
3 x = 21
3 x : 3 = 21 : 3       ( the Division Property of Equality )
x = 7
Answer: C ) The standard method for solving an equation like 3 x + 5 = 26 is to use the Subtraction Property of Equality and then the Division Property of Equality.

0.5 is 30 minutes how do I work out more times e.g. How many minutes is 0.45 or 0.48 I don't know how to do it help
kompoz [17]
I dont know if this will help you, but a 15th (.15) of an hour is 9 minutes!
So it'd be
.15=9 minutes
.30=18 minutes
.45=27
.60=36
.75=45 
.90=54
and obviously
1.0 is 60 minutes
(((EVERY .05 IS THREE MINUTES))))

can julia cute a triangular path for a quilt that has side lengths of 1 1/2 inches, 2 inches, and 4 inches? explain.
andre [41]
One of the triangle inequalities state that the sum of any 2 sides must be larger than the third side. More importantly, the sum of the smaller two side must be longer than the largest side. So your smaller 2 sides are 1.5 and 2......which has a sum of 3.5. Your third side is 4. So the sum of the 2 sides is NOT greater than the third side.....so these cannot be the sides of a triangle. Hope this helped.
