Distribute: -24x - 12 = -144x - 120

Add 12 to both sides: -24x = -144x - 108

Add 144x to both sides: 120x = -108

Divide by 120 on both sides: x = -0.9

Answer:

$x=-\frac{9}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply Distributive Property: $-24x-12=-144x-120$

Make equation = to <u><em>x </em></u> by adding 12 to both sides, adding 144x to both sides, and simplifying.

You should then get the equation: $120x=-108$

From here you divide 120 from both sides, and you should then get your answer.

Answer is C.
For every option, sub in the value and find the answer that matches the equation!

Example for option A, F(x) = x + 4 and G(x) = x²
G(F(x)) = G(x + 4) ーー> sub in the value of F(x)
Let's take the subbed in value, (x + 4) as x, and this x will be the x for G(x).

∴ Since G(x) is x²
G(x + 4) = (x + 4)² ーー> remember (x + 4) is represented as x.
= x² + 16
∴ You know that the answer is not A, do this for all options and you'll find the answer, C!

Which of the following is a solution of x2 + 4x + 25?

blondinia [14]

Solve for x:
x^2 + 4 x + 25 = 0 I ssume that's the notation.
Subtract 25 from both sides:
x^2 + 4 x = -25
Add 4 to both sides:
x^2 + 4 x + 4 = -21
Write the left hand side as a square:
(x + 2)^2 = -21
Take the square root of both sides:
x + 2 = i sqrt(21) or x + 2 = -i sqrt(21)
Subtract 2 from both sides:
x = i sqrt(21) - 2 or x + 2 = -i sqrt(21)
Subtract 2 from both sides:
Answer: x = i sqrt(21) - 2 or x = -i sqrt(21) - 2

What is the height, x, of the equilateral triangle?

e-lub [12.9K]

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, the height of the equilateral triangle is given by:

A. $h = 7\sqrt{3}$ inches.

<h3>What is the Pythagorean Theorem?</h3>

The Pythagorean Theorem relates the length of the legs $l_1$ and $l_2$ of a right triangle with the length of the hypotenuse h, according to the following equation:
