The correct answer is X=-2.
First remove the parentheses and factor out 2.
1/2•(2-6x)-4(x+3/2)=-(x-3)+4 turns into
1/2•2(1-3x)-4(x+3/2)=-(x-3)+4.
Then distribute -4 through the parentheses,
1/2•2(1-3x)-4x-6=-(x-3)+4
Then change the sign of the x-3 to x+3,
1/2•2(1-3x)-4x-6=-x+3+4
Then reduce the numbers with the greatest common factor which is 2,
and remove unnecessary parentheses,
1-3x-4x-6=-x+7
Then calculate the differences and collect like terms,
-5-7x=-x+7
Then move the variable to the left side and change its sign, and move the constant to the right hand side and change its sign,
-7x+x=7+5
Then add and collect the like terms,
-6x=12
And finally divide both sides by -6 to get X=-2.
Whew lol
Answer:
3.5 = x + 4*y
4 = 2x + 2*y
Step-by-step explanation:
The total distance ran by Avi is the sum of the distance from his house to the track, and the total distance ran in the tracks (that is, the distance of one lap times the number of laps Avi ran).
If we call 'd' the total distance and 'k' the number of laps, we have the equation:
d = x + k*y
So with the data given, we can have the following system:
3.5 = x + 4*y
4 = 2x + 2*y
In the second equation, we have 2x because Avi ran from his home to the track, and in the end ran back home, so Avi ran the distance x two times.
Group 1 elements are comprised of: (1) hydrogen, sodium, lithium, potassium, rubidium, caesium, and francium. The tendency of these atoms is to lose one of their electrons such that they become charge +1.
Group 5 elements contains the vanadium, niobium, tantalum, and dubnium. It is quite hard to predict the oxidation number of these elements such that it will be hard to determine the number of atoms needed to react with them. Their valence electron is 5, and they react by losing them. Hence, in order to reach the octet rule, 3 group 1 elements should be reacted.
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
X+8= 12
Carry over the 8 and make X the subject.
X= 12-8
X= 4
