Answer: -4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-2(6x-3)=42

3x - 12x + 6 = 42

-9x + 6 = 42

-9x = 42 - 6

x = -36/9 = -4

Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-2(6x-3)=42

Distribute

3x -12x+6 = 42

Combine like terms

-9x+6 = 42

Subtract 6 from each side

-9x+6-6 = 42-6

-9x = 36

Divide each side by -9

-9x/-9 = 36/-9

x = -4

stepan [7]

Answer:

Max's paper airplane flew $\frac{77}{12}$ feet or $6\frac{5}{12}$ feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

As Nora's paper airplane flew 9 1/6 feet

i.e.

$9\frac{1}{6}=\frac{55}{6}$

Nora's paper was farther than Max's plane flew by = 2 3/4 feet

i.e.

$2\frac{3}{4}=\frac{11}{4}$

Thus the equation to show how far Max's paper airplane flew is:

$\:\:9\frac{1}{6}-2\frac{3}{4}$

$=\frac{55}{6}-\frac{11}{4}$

$\mathrm{Least\:Common\:Multiplier\:of\:}6,\:4:\quad 12$

$\mathrm{Adjust\:Fractions\:based\:on\:the\:LCM}$

$=\frac{110}{12}-\frac{33}{12}$

$\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}$

$=\frac{110-33}{12}$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:110-33=77$

$=\frac{77}{12}$

$=6\frac{5}{12}$

Therefore, Max's paper airplane flew $\frac{77}{12}$ feet or $6\frac{5}{12}$ feet.
