Answer:
The pretzels are 20% of the total weight of the snack.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total weight 12 + 20 + 8 = 40
So 8 / 40 = 20%
Simplifying
3x + 4 = 7 + -2x
Reorder the terms:
4 + 3x = 7 + -2x
Solving
4 + 3x = 7 + -2x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '2x' to each side of the equation.
4 + 3x + 2x = 7 + -2x + 2x
Combine like terms: 3x + 2x = 5x
4 + 5x = 7 + -2x + 2x
Combine like terms: -2x + 2x = 0
4 + 5x = 7 + 0
4 + 5x = 7
Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4 + 5x = 7 + -4
Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + 5x = 7 + -4
5x = 7 + -4
Combine like terms: 7 + -4 = 3
5x = 3
Divide each side by '5'.
x = 0.6
Answer: x = 0.6
If you distribute the 6(x-2) you would get 6x-12 so zero would equal zero
Answer:
a)

b) 0.09
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:

where B(t) gives the brightness of the star at time t, where t is measured in days.
a) rate of change of the brightness after t days.

b) rate of increase after one day.
We put t = 1

The rate of increase after 1 day is 0.09
