First you need to subtract 6 from both sides of the equation.

6 - 6 - 4x = -38 - 6

-4x = -44           -Now divide both sides by -4.

-4x / -4 = -44 / -4

x = 11

Now check:

6 - 4(11) = -38

6 - 44 = -38

-38 = -38

Hope this helps you!

Isolate the x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents (& roots), Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction)

First, subtract 6 from both sides

-4x + 6 (-6) = -38 (-6)

-4x = -38 - 6

-4x = -44

Next, fully isolate the x by dividing -4 from both sides

(-4x)/-4 = (-44)/-4

x = -44/-4

x = 11

11 is your answer for x.

17.31 x____=173.1 decimal math
Natasha_Volkova [10]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

10.

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

In order to find the missing value, we need to divide 173.1, by 17.31:

173.1 / 17.31 = 10

Dividing the product (173.1) by one value in the equation (17.31) can represent what the missing value is, in order for 17.31 to equal 173.1

<h3>Check:</h3><h3></h3>

17.31 · 10 = 173.1

173.1 / 10 = 17.31

Bill drove from Washington DC to Charlotte in 6.5 hours. What was his average speed in miles per hour?
jolli1 [7]
If you search it up, the distance from Washington DC to Charlotte is 404.9 miles.

The formula for speed is distance divided by time. We can easily do that with this equation:

404.9 / 6.5 = 62.2923077, or about 63 miles per hour.

Solve the quadratic equation by factoring. 7K^2-6k+3=3
ivann1987 [24]
Subtract 3 to get:

7k^2-6k=0

Clearly, we can factor out a k to find that:

k(7k-6)=0

If either k or 7k-6 is zero, the whole expression is zero, so our solutions are zero and 6/7.

RSB [31]
The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle can be found using the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.
