6(4x + 2) = 3(8x + 4)
Reorder the terms:
6(2 + 4x) = 3(8x + 4)
(2 * 6 + 4x * 6) = 3(8x + 4)
(12 + 24x) = 3(8x + 4)
Reorder the terms:
12 + 24x = 3(4 + 8x)
12 + 24x = (4 * 3 + 8x * 3)
12 + 24x = (12 + 24x)
Add '-12' to each side of the equation.
12 + -12 + 24x = 12 + -12 + 24x
Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
0 + 24x = 12 + -12 + 24x
24x = 12 + -12 + 24x
Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
24x = 0 + 24x
24x = 24x
Add '-24x' to each side of the equation.
24x + -24x = 24x + -24x
Combine like terms: 24x + -24x = 0
0 = 24x + -24x
Combine like terms: 24x + -24x = 0
0 = 0
Solving
0 = 0
Answer: It took 18 Months for Michelle to collect 59 dolls.
Explanation:
First, let’s right an equation for this. Michelle started with 5 dolls in a bar collection (I have no clue what that is but i’ll roll with it), and each month she bought 3 more, so 5 dolls plus the 3 dolls per month equals 59 at some point.
5 dolls + 3 dolls per month = 59 dolls
OR
5 + 3m = 59
The point of this question is to find how many months (m) it took in order to get to 59 dolls and there’s multiple ways you can do this:
1) just plug in random numbers into m to see how long it takes to get to 59 [this option might take a while]
2) Try to isolate m (get every number out of the equation) to find out the value of m. [I’m most familiar with this way]
First, subtract 5 from 5 in the equation in order to get rid of it, since we’re trying to get all whole numbers out of the equation and only have m left. You subtract 5 from 59 since the equal sign is kind of like a mirrror, whatever you do to one side you have to do to the other. So, 5-5 is 0, and 59- is 54.
Now you’re left with 3m=54. In order to isolate the m, divide 3 by 3 to get rid of the 3, then divide 54 by 3, which is 18.
In order to check your work, plug 18 into m just to see if it works or not:
5+3m=59 —-> 5+ 3(18)= 59
3 times 18 is 54, plus 5 is 59. So, Mi hells took 18 months to collect her 59 dolls. Hope this helped!
Yup here you go it’s uhmmmm idk anymore heheh
2x4=8 2x2=4 4+8=12, so it is A
The correct proportion of the corresponding sides is 2 : 3
<h3>How to determine the proportion?</h3>
From the question, we understand that the shapes are similar.
This means that:
Ratio = GHIJ : KLMN
From the figure, we have:
GH = 6 and KL = 9
So, we have:
Ratio = 6 : 9
Simplify the ratio
Ratio = 2 : 3
Hence, the correct proportion of the corresponding sides is 2 : 3
