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

Find the distance between the points given. (2, 2) and (5, 5)

mario62 [17]

Distance between two points, d, is given by
$d= \sqrt{ ( x_{2} - x_{1}) ^{2} + (y_{2} - y_{1}) ^{2} }
$
where: (x1, y1) = (2, 2) and (x2, y2) = (5, 5)
$d= 
\sqrt{ ( 5 - 2) ^{2} + (5 - 2) ^{2} } \\ d= \sqrt{ (3)^{2} + 3^{2} } 
\\ d= \sqrt{9+9} \\ d= \sqrt{18} \\ d=3\sqrt{2} \ units$
