<em>Greetings from Brasil...</em>

Let's add all the values on one side and make it equal to the sum of all the other values on the other side

(- X) + (- X) + (- X) + (- X) + (- X) + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = X + X + X + (- 1) + (- 1) + (- 1) + (- 1) + (- 1) + (- 1) + (- 1) + (- 1)

- 5X + 12 = 3X - 8

- 5X - 3X = - 8 - 12

- 8X = - 20 x(- 1)

8X = 20

X = 20/8

Over a two hour time period a snail moved 64 inches. How far is this in yards? Write your answer as a whole number or a mixed nu

Bingel [31]

64 inches = 1 $\frac{7}{9}$ yards

using the conversion : 1 yard = 36 inches

divide 64 by 36 to convert to yards

= $\frac{64}{36}$ ← ( divide numerator/denominator by 4 )

$\frac{64}{36}$ = $\frac{16}{9}$ = 1 $\frac{7}{9}$

given as a mixed number in simplest form

1. Which is equivalent to the expression below?<br> (3.x2 – 2x + 5) - (2x2 – 5x + 1)

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

x = 6

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x² - 2x + 5) - (2x² - 5x + 1)

= 3x² - 2x² - 2x - 5x + 5 + 1

= x² - 7x + 6

= (x - 6)(x - 1)

x - 6 = 0

x = 6

x - 1 = 0

x = 1

C. 6 2/12 because you put the common denominator (12) by multiplying 1/4 x 3/3 then add it to get 5 14/12 or 6 2/12
D.5 2/15
