Hey there!!
Given equation :
... 2 ( x - ( 3 + 2x ) + 9 ) = 3x - 8
Using the distributive property.
... 2 ( x - 3 - 2x + 9 ) = 3x - 8
... 2 ( -x + 6 ) = 3x - 8
Using the distributive property.
... -2x + 12 = 3x - 8
Subtracting 12 on both sides.
... -2x = 3x - 8 - 12
... -2x = 3x - 20
Subtracting 3x on both sides.
... -2x - 3x = -20
... -5x = -20
Dividing by -5 on both sides.
... x = -20 / -5
... x = 4
<em>Hence, the answer is 4. </em>
Hope my answer helps!
Step-by-step explanation:
We will learn how to solve proportion problems. We know, the first term (1st) and the fourth term (4th) of a proportion are called extreme terms or extremes, and the second term (2nd) and the third term (3rd) are called middle terms or means.
Therefore, in a proportion, product of extremes = product of middle terms
example
1. Check whether the two ratios form a proportion or not:
(i) 6 : 8 and 12 : 16; (ii) 24 : 28 and 36 : 48
Solution:
(i) 6 : 8 and 12 : 16
6 : 8 = 6/8 = 3/4
12 : 16 = 12/16 = 3/4
Thus, the ratios 6 : 8 and 12 : 16 are equal.
Therefore, they form a proportion.
When three points are on the same line it’s collinear,. we’re in the same class LOL
Greater 1 km = 1000 m
so it's greater than 999 m
