Answer:

Yes, x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

3 x - 2 x + 12

Grouping like terms, 3 x - 2 x + 12 = (3 x - 2 x) + 12:

(3 x - 2 x) + 12

3 x - 2 x = x:

Answer: x + 12

Answer:

<em>Yes, it is.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 12 - 2x =

Use the commutative property of addition to change the order of the addition.

= 12 + 3x - 2x

Use the distributive property of addition over multiplication in reverse (which is factoring).

= 12 + x(3 - 2)

Do the operation: 3 - 2 = 1

= 12 + x * 1

Simplify x * 1 to just x.

= 12 + x

Use the commutative property of addition.

= x + 12

There you have x + 12 from 3x + 12 - 2x by using properties and operations.

Trava [24]

Answer:

select answers: A), B), C),  D), and E)

Step-by-step explanation:

Please see attached image with the figure obtained by joining the given points.

Notice that the figure is that of a square, and a square happens to be a very special case of a bunch of other figure definitions, like:

rectangle (four side figure with parallel sides and right angles at the vertices) So the square is a special type of rectangle.

Rhombus (four side figure with all sides of the same length) So the square is a special type of rhombus)

Trapezoid (four side figure with at least two parallel sides), So the square is a special type of trapezoid.

Parallelogram (four side figure with two pairs of parallel sides) So the square is a special type of parallelogram.

Therefore you need to select answers: A), B), C),  D), and E)
