Let's review:
Inverse Operations:
Inverse Operations are operations which undo each other!
I'll give the following Inverse Operations in this form.

Operation -> Inverse Operation

Addition -> Subtraction
Subtraction -> Addition

Multiplication -> Division
Division -> Multiplication

That's all of them we'll need to know to solve this problem!

9x + 3 = 3x + 9

First Step!: Move all of the variables to once side (Numbers with x in them). (Prioritize the lower one so we won't need to work with negative numbers) Subtract 3x on both sides (Subtract, because the number is positive)

9x - 3x + 3 = 3x - 3x + 9

3x - 3x = 0

9x - 3x + 3 = 9

Move the 3 to the right by subtracting it on both sides.

9x - 3x + 3 - 3 = 9 - 3

3 - 3 = 0
9 - 3 = 6

9x - 3x = 6

Subtract like terms. (Just like you would subtract 9 - 3). Note that they are only like terms, because they both have the same variables (x) that are the same power (1).

6x = 6

Divide 6 on both sides to get your answer.

6x/6 = 6/6

The 6's cancel out and we are left with 1 on the left AND right, because 6/6 = 1.

x = 1

Plug x in to check.

9(1) + 3 = 3(1) + 9

9 + 3 = 9 + 3

Those are definitely equal!

I hope that helped. If it did then consider giving me the brainliest answer. Thanks.

9x + 3=3x + 9....so 9x-3x=: 3 = -3x+9 and then you minus 9 from 3 and it equals to -3=-3x and then you divided -3 by -3 equals
=1 negative divided by a negative "always" a positive. so the answer is (positive one)

A cable is 40 meters long. How long is the cable in decimeters?

AnnyKZ [126]

Hello,

1 meter is equal to 10 decimeters.

SO, if we convert 40 meters to decimeters, we multiply 40 meters by 10 decimeters, getting 400 decimeters.

Hope this helps!

An item is regularly priced at 85$. It is on sale for 80% off the regular price. How much is discounted from the regular price?

laila [671]

$68 is discounted from the regular price.

To find this, you first divide 80% by 100 to get 0.8 (the decimal form of the percentage). Then, simply multiply 0.8 by 85 (or vise verse) to get $68. Since the question is asking for how much is discounted from the regular price, the final answer would be $68.

I hope this helps!

A game designer must decide how to color four buildings that are in a row. Using only the colors yellow, green, red, and blue, e

topjm [15]

Answer:

The number of ways are there to paint the four buildings is 48.

Step-by-step explanation:

I) let the first building be any color. Therefore the first building can be painted with any of the 4 colors.

Therefore the first building can be colored in 4 ways.

ii) the second building can be colored in 3 ways since it cannot be colored the

same color as the first building.

iii) the third building can also be colored in 3 ways.

iv) the last building can be colored in 2 ways because it cannot be the same color as the first building or the color of the adjacent building.

Therefore the total number of ways the buildings can be colored = 4 $\times$ 3 $\times$ 3 $\times$ 2 = 48.
