3(4x + 5) = 12 Which of the following correctly shows the beginning steps to solve this equation?

1 answer:

8 0

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

WHY DOES SOLVING RADICAL EQUATIONS NEED A DIFFERENT PROCESS? HOW DO EXTRANEOUS SOLUTIONS ARISE FROM RADICAL EQUATIONS?

professor190 [17]

Solving radical equations are different because you would want to get everything in the equation to rational numbers.
Extraneous solutions arise when you manipulate the equation. After manipulating if a solution is found that can not satisfy the original equation(s).

Find the volume of a cylinder made by rotating a rectangle with a width of 2.5 feet and a length of 8 feet as shown in the figur

asambeis [7]

<span>the question does not present the picture, but this does not interfere with the resolution</span>

we know that
When a rectangle with a width of 2.5 feet and a length of 8 feet rotates it makes a cylinder with a radius r = 2.5 ft and a height h = 8 ft

volume of a cylinder=pi*r²*h-----> pi*2.5²*8----> 157 ft³

the answer is
157 ft³

valina [46]

Answer:

The sum of the given series is 1023

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric series states that a series in which a constant ratio is obtained by multiplying the previous term.

Sum of the geometric series is given by:

$S_n = \frac{a(1-r^n)}{1-r}$
