Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation: okay. Here we go. This will be long.

You have to use the inverse operation. That means use the opposite operation. For example, the opposite operation of addition is subtraction. So let’s ignore the 3x for now. That means the equation is +2=20. The inverse operation of addition is subtraction. So we subtract 2 from 20. That equals 18. Then we subtract 2 from 2. That equals 0. Now our equation is =18. Now remember 3x? You bring that back in. So our equation is 3x=18. See what I did? I simplified the equation. 3x means “3 times x” because x is a variable. And the opposite of times (multiplication) is division. So you divide 3 from 18. That equals 6. And we divide 3 from 3x. That equals 1x. Ax is basically the same thing as x. So now what doe we have left? X= 6. Your answer is 6.

Troy is making a flag shaped like a square.Each side measures 12 inches.he wants to add ribbon along the edges. He has 36 inches

Orlov [11]

A square has 4 sides, and all sides have the same length.
If one side measures 12 inches, then the total length of all sides is 4 * 12 inches.
4 * 12 inches = 48 inches
All edges combined are a total of 48 inches.
He only has 36 inches of ribbon, so he does not have enough ribbon.

Find the equation of a line that passes through (2,8) and is parallel to the graph of y=2x+6. Write the equation in slope-interc

Rashid [163]

Answer:

The equation of a parallel line would be y = 2x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the equation of this line, we first have to note that paralell lines have same slopes. Therefore, since the original line has a slope of 2, we know the new line will have a slope of 2. Now we can use that information along with the given point in point-slope form to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 8 = 2(x - 2)

y - 8 = 2x - 4

y = 2x + 4
