6 - x = 2(x - 6)
the first step, following PEMDAS, is to distribute the 2 to the inside of your parentheses:
6 - x = 2x - 12 ... subtract 2x
6 - 3x = -12 ... subtract 6
-3x = -18 ... divide by -3
x = 6 is the answer
Answer in fraction form = 1/20
Answer in decimal form = 0.05
Answer in percent form = 5%
These are three ways to express the same thing

Explanation:
Assume the gumball machine only has 5 gumballs, one of each color. The probability of getting yellow is 1/5 since there is one that is yellow out of 5 total.
The probability of getting a lion rubber band is 1/4 for similar reasoning as above.
Because the two events (getting yellow, getting a lion) are independent, this means we can multiply the two probabilities to get (1/5)*(1/4) = 1/20
Use your calculator to see that 1/20 = 0.05 which converts to 5% when you move the decimal point over 2 spots to the right.
Sorry but grade math is this so I can have a better understanding
Answer:
18.7939 m
Step-by-step explanation:
-Let x be the distance between John and clock tower.
-Let y be the vertical distance from the eyes of the two men standing to the top of the clock tower.
#Taking the right triangle ACD:
#Taking the right triangle ABD:
#We equate the two yo solve for x and y;
Hence, John's distance from the tower's base is 18.7939 m
