Answer:

x=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 5 from both sides.

−x=12−5

Subtract 5 from 12 to get 7.

−x=7

Multiply both sides by −1.

x=−7

Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

When subtracting negative numbers from positive it's like adding. The rules are a bit wonky I know haha. So your problem would look like this when "x" is solved:

5 - -7 = 12

<u>Hope this helps and have a nice day!</u>

PART1

Mice21 [21]

Part 1: $\frac{5x^{3} + 10x^{2} + 15x}{5x} = \frac{5x^{3}}{5x} + \frac{10x^{2}}{5x} + \frac{15x}{5x} = x^{2} + 2x + 3$
The answer is C.

Part 2: $\frac{3x^{4} + 5x^{2} + 2x}{x} = \frac{3x^{4}}{x} + \frac{5x^{2}}{x} + \frac{2x}{x} = 3x^{3} + 5x + 2$
The answer is A.

A short necklace has 32 gold beads and 8 black beads.

joja [24]

Answer:

12 black beads

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the ration of gold beads to black beads on the short necklace:

$\frac{gold}{black}=\frac{32}{8}=\frac{4}{1}$

Since the ratio of 4:1 has 5 total parts, you can take the total amount of beads in the long necklace and divide by 5:

60 ÷ 5 = 12

12 beads represents 1 part of the ratio, so that would be the number of black beads. To check, multiply 12 by 4: 12 x 4 = 48, and set up a ratio:

48: 12 = 4: 1
