Answer:

x=-38

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3(x−6)−2(2x+3)=14

(3)(x)+(3)(−6)+(−2)(2x)+(−2)(3)=14(Distribute)

3x+−18+−4x+−6=14

(3x+−4x)+(−18+−6)=14(Combine Like Terms)

−x+−24=14

−x−24=14

Step 2: Add 24 to both sides.

−x−24+24=14+24

−x=38

Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.

−x

−1

x=−38

Factor −1/2−1/2 out of −1/2x+6.

pochemuha

That's unusual: repetition: -1/2 - 1/2.

Did you perhaps mean "Factor -1/2 out of (-1/2)x + 6?

Let's do that. Let's rewrite 6 as (-1/2)(-12).

Then (-1/2)x + 6 (-1/2)x -(1/2)(-12)
-------------- = ------------------------ = x - 1/2
-1/2 -1/2

Hope that's what you wanted. If not, please try to apply a similar approach to solving this particular problem.

A baby weights 18 pounds at her four month appointment. Six months later she weights 24 pounds. By what percentage did the baby’

Anna11 [10]

Answer: 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Previous baby's weight = 18 pounds

New baby's weight = 24 pounds.

Increase in weight = New weight -Previews weight

=24 pounds - 18 pounds =6 pounds

Percentage increase in baby's weight = $=\dfrac{\text{Increase in baby's weight}}{\text{previous weight}}\times100$
