3(x-4)=12x​

multiply the bracket by 3

(3)(x)=3x

(3)9-4)=-12

3x-12=12x

move 3x to the other side

sign changes from +3x to -3x

3x-3x-12=12x-3x

-12=9x

divide both sides by 9 to get x by itself

-12/9=9x/9

-12/9=x

reduce -12/9 by dividing by 3

-12/3=-4

9/3=3

answer:

-4/3 or - 1 1/3

Adrian has 256 money by the end of month 4, at month 1 he had saved 4 dollars, use an exponent in an expression to represent how
ioda

Answer:

The required expression would be 4(4)^{t-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the amount formula is,

A=P(1+r)^t

Where,

P = invested amount,

t = number of periods,

r = rate per period,

Given,

The invested amount at month 1, P = 4,

Number of periods from month 1 to month 4, t = 3

Amount at the end of fourth month, A = 256.

By substituting the values,

256=4(1+r)^3

64=(1+r)^3

 4=1+r

r = 4-1=3

Hence, the amount of money at the end of t months.

A=4(4)^{t-1}

There are over 2700 species of snakes in the world over 600 are venomous Express the fraction of species that are not venomous a
Andre45 [30]
You do 600 divided by 2700 and you end up with 22/100 or 0.22 as a decimal. So if 0.22 or 22/100 are venimous then 78/100 or 0.78 are non venimous. I understand its a bit confusing and i can simplify it for you but still I hope this helps :)

Examine the first two steps used to solve the equation.
bija089 [108]

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Your fractions are missing there fraction bars:

3/4 (20y − 8) + 5 = 1/2 y + 1/4 (20y + 8)  

15y − 6 + 5 = 1/2 y + 5y + 2  

15y − 1 = 11/2 y + 2

A. 11/2y and 2 aren't like terms because one contains the variable y and the other contains no variable

B. The distribute property can't be used there because you don't have 15(y-1) you have 15y-1

C. Subtracting 11/2y sounds like a good step because there is a y term on the opposing side.

15y-1=11/2y+2

Subtracing 11/2y on both sides

9.5y-1=2

That looks pretty good because then you would add 1 on both sides giving:

9.5y =3

Last step would get the y by itself which is dividing both sides by 9.5 giving you 6/19.

D. You could actually do this but it doesn't help you get x by itself.  The equation would look like this: 15/2 y-1/2=11/4 y+1
