The correct answer is A.

Here is the completed problem:

3(4x+5)=12

Distributive property.

3(4x+5)=12

Simplify

12x+15=12

Subtract 15 from both sides.

12x+15−15=12−15

12x=−3

Divide both sides by 12.

12x/12 = −3/12

x= −1/4

Find the area of the following figure:
RoseWind [281]

The area of the figure is 11. 27 cm²

<h3>How to find the area</h3>

The figure given is a parallelogram

Note that the formula for area of a parallelogram is given as;

Area = base × height

Base = 2. 3cm

height = 4. 9cm

Area = 2. 3 × 4. 9

Area = 11. 27 cm²

Thus, the area of the figure is 11. 27 cm²

Rewrite the following linear equation in slope-intercept form. y+4=-2(x-1)
romanna [79]

Answer:

y = -2x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite y + 7 = -2(x - 3) in slope-intercept form (which is y = mx + b):

First, perform the indicated multiplication:

y + 7 = -2x + 6

Combining the constants, we get

y = -2x - 1

This is the desired equation in slope-intercept form.  slope is -2 and y-intercept is -1.

A teacher has been given £35 to spend on pencils and rulers.
SSSSS [86.1K]
Packet of 12 pencils = p
Packet of 30 rulers = r

p = £2.15
r = £6.00

£35 = 4r + xp
£35 = 4(£6.00) + x(£2.15)
£35 = £24 + £2.15x
£11 = £2.15x
x = 5.12

Since she can buy 5.12 packets of pencils, it is equal to 5 packets of pencils.

stepan [7]

Answer:

Value of x = 7/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

ΔVUW ≅ ΔUST

Find:

Value of x

Computation:

We know that;

ΔVUW ≅ ΔUST

So,

VU = US (By CPCT)

So,

5x + 11 = 18

5x = 7

Value of x = 7/5
