Answer:

−2

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2(x+8)

f(x) = 12

12 = 2(x+8)

Divide each side by 2

12/2 = 2/2(x+8)

6 = x+8

Subtract 8 from each side

6-8 =x+8-8

-2 = x

f(x) = 2(x+8)

replace f(x) with 12 and then solve for x:

12 = 2(x +8)

Use the distributive Property on the right side:

12 = 2x +16

Subtract 16 from each side:

-4 - 2x

Divide both sides by 2:

x = -4 / 2

x = -2

15 POINTS!!!! BRAINLIEST FOR THE FIRST ANSWER!!! Solve 3-x/2≤18

Bumek [7]

Answer:

$x\geq -30$

Step-by-step explanation:

Work to isolate x on one side of the inequality:

$3-\frac{x}{2} \leq 18\\3-18\leq \frac{x}{2} \\-15\leq \frac{x}{2}\\-30 \leq x$

Therefore the answer is all x values larger than or equal to -30

$x\geq -30$

a_sh-v [17]

Answer: 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Jar contains 200 old dimes

Chances to pick the 1960s is 20% i.e. 1960s is 20% of 200 old dimes

So, we can write

$\Rightarrow \text{No of 1960s is }=20\%\ \text{of}\ 200=0.2\times 200\\\Rightarrow \text{No of 1960s is }=40$

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

8 groups.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that Luis purchased 24 purple plants and 8 pink plants. He wants to plant them in equal groups in his garden. We are asked to find out largest number of groups he can make.

To solve this problem we will find GCF of 24 and 8.

Factors of 24 are: 1,2,3,4,6,8,12 and 24.

Factors of 8 are 1,2,4 and 8.

We can see that greatest common factor of 24 and 8 is 8.

Therefore, Luis can make 8 groups each having 3 purple plants and 1 pink plant.
