-1(x + 2) = 2(3x - 6)

First, simplify 1 × (x + 2) to (x + 2) / Your problem should look like: -x - 2 = 2(3x - 6)
Second, expand. / Your problem should look like: -x - 2 = 6x - 12
Third, add x to both sides. / Your problem should look like: -2 = 6x - 12 + x
Fourth, simplify 6x - 12 + x to get 7x - 12. / Your problem should look like: -2 = 7x - 12
Fifth, add 12 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: -2 + 12 = 7x
Sixth, add -2 + 12 to get 10. / Your problem should look like: 10 = 7x
Seventh, divide both sides by 7. / Your problem should look like: \frac{10}{7}  = x
Eighth, switch your sides. / Your problem should look like: x =  \frac{10}{7}

Answer: x = \frac{10}{7}
Answer as decimal: 1.4286

-1(x+2)=2(3x-6)
-1(x+2)=2(3x-6)distributhing -1 through parantheses
-1x+(-1)*2=2(3x-6)
-x-2=2(3x-6) distributhing 2 through parantheses
-x-2=2*3x-2*6
-x-2=6x-2*6
-x-2=6x-12    add x 
-2=6x-12+x
-2=7x-12        add 12
-2+12=7x
10=7x       divide by 7  
x= \frac{10}{7}
Answer : x= 1 3/7

Renee has 1/4 yard of floral fabric. She cuts it into 5 equal pieces. How long is each new piece of fabric?
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

\dfrac{1}{20}\ \text{yards}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Renee has 1/4 yard of floral fabric.

She cuts it into 5 equal pieces.

We need to find the length of each new piece of fabric. It is equal to the total length divided by the total number of pieces. So,

l=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{4}}{5}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{4}\times \dfrac{1}{5}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{20}\ \text{yards}

So, each new piece pf fabric is \dfrac{1}{20}\ \text{yards}.

Hello! For these kinds of problems, the formula for finding the principal is I / rt. That means, divide the simple interest by the rate and time (rate should be in decimal form). In order to find simple interest, just do prt, which means multiply the principal (initial amount) by the rate (simple interest rate, in decimal form) by the amount of time (could be in months or years). With that being said, if you solve it correctly, here are your answers:

Principal: $14,181
Interest rate: 10%
Time: 4 years
Simple Interest: $5,672.40

Principal: $83,079
Interest rate: 9%
Time: 2 years
Simple Interest: $14,954.22

Principal: $659,379.96
Interest rate: 11.7%
Time: 28 months
Simple Interest: $179,753.57

Principal: $18,936
Interest Rate: 2.41%
Time: 3 Months
Simple Interest: $114.09

Note: If the time is in months, be sure to convert it into a decimal and multiply. If a decimal repeats, just convert it to the nearest hundredth.
