What the answer? 8x-(2x-3)=12

Mathematics
1 answer:
nevsk [136]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x= 3/2 or 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, you can take out the parenthesis because 8x is subtracting 2x-3.

8x-2x-3=12

6x-3=12

  +3  +3

6x= 15

6x/6= 15/6

x= 3/2 or 1.5

Hope this helps!

A cup contains 3 blue paper clips,2 red paper clips,and 5 silver paper clips.what is the probability of not drawing a red paper
Elis [28]
Short Answer 0.8

Remark
The total number of possible draws is
3 Blue + 2 Red + 5 silver = 10
There are two ways of solving this, both of which will be used later on.

Method 1
If you don't draw a read paper clip, that means you will draw a silver or blue paper clip.
\frac{Silver + blue}{10} =  \frac{3 + 5}{10} =  \frac{8}{10} = \text{0.8}

Method Two
The other way is to draw a red one and take that probability away from 1. 
P(red) = \frac{2}{10} = \text{0.2}
1 - 0.2 = 0.8 Same answer.

Suppose 1 Bamboo Skewer Is About 30 Cm Long. How Many Skewers Would It Take To Make A Line 1 Million Centimeters Long?
Soloha48 [4]

(1,000,000 centimeters) x (1 skewer/30centimeters) =

                  1,000,000 /30 skewers =  33,333 whole skewers,
                                                           plus one piece of one more skewer
                                                           cut into 3 equal pieces with the other
                                                           two pieces discarded.    

                 Another way to look at it:   <em>33,334 skewers</em>,
                                                            with 2/3 of one of them not included.

netineya [11]

Answer:

D. 264yards

Step-by-step explanation:

If John swam halfway across a circular pond (radius) and he has gone 132 yds, then the radius of the circular pond is 132yards.

Diameter of the pond = 2×radius of the pond

Diameter of the pond = 2×132

Diameter of the pond = 264yards
