Answer:  The number is:  "2 " .
__________________________________________
Explanation:
__________________________________________
Write the expression; which is an equation, as follows:
__________________________________________
     " 4x <span>− 12 = 2(-x) " ;  in which "x" represents "the number for which we shall                                       solve" .
___________________________________________
Note:  

If the "number" = "x" ;  the "opposite of the number"  =  " -x " ;
</span>___________________________________________
Rewrite as:  " 4x <span>− 12 = -2x " ;
</span>_____________________________________________
     →  Add "12" ; & add "2x" ; to EACH SIDE of the equation:

                      4x − 12 + 12 + 2x = -2x + 12 + 2x ;

           to get:    6x  = 12  ;
____________________________________________________
 Now, divide each side of the equation by "6" ; 
     to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;
____________________________________________________
                         6x / 6  =  12 / 6 ;

                    to get:    x = 2 .
____________________________________________________
Answer:  The number is:  "2 " .
____________________________________________________
Let us check our answer, by plugging in "2" for "x" in our original equation:
_____________________________________________________
        →   " 4x − 12 = 2(-x) " ;

  Let us plug in "2" for "x" ; to see if the equation holds true; that is; if both side of the equation are equal; when "x = 2" ;

        →   " 4(2) − 12 = ?  2(-2) ?? 

        →    8 − 12 = ?  -4 ? ;
 
        →    -4 = ? -4 ??  Yes!

Pleas help!!!! Brainliest and points!!
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

Here is the formula for point slope form: y-y1=m(x-x1)

Our slope in this case is 5, and our points are (1, 9). 1(x1) and 9(y1)

So, if we substitute our given data into the formula, here is what we will get.

y-9=5(x-1)

Thus, our answer should be:

y-9=5(x-1)

I hope this helps!

What is the approximate length of RP? Round to the nearest tenth. 5. 6 units 6. 1 units 8. 3 units 9. 8 units.
kirza4 [7]

The apporoximate length of the RP is 6.1 units, the correct option is B.

<h3>What is Pythagoras theorem?</h3>

The Pythagoras theorem states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of the lengths of the other two sides of the right-angled triangle.

Given

QR is the tangent to circle P at point Q.

QP = 3 units and QR = 5,.3 units

The length of the RP is given by;

\rm RP=\sqrt{QP^2+QR^2} \\\\RP=\sqrt{3^2+5.3^2}\\\\ RP=\sqrt{9+28.09} \\\\RP=\sqrt{37.09}\\\\RP= 6.1 \ units

Hence, the apporoximate length of the RP is 6.1 units.
