Answer: x = 3


Step-by-step explanation:Simplifying

12 + 5x = 18 + 3x

Solving

12 + 5x = 18 + 3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.

12 + 5x + -3x = 18 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 5x + -3x = 2x

12 + 2x = 18 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0

12 + 2x = 18 + 0

12 + 2x = 18

Add '-12' to each side of the equation.

12 + -12 + 2x = 18 + -12

Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0

0 + 2x = 18 + -12

2x = 18 + -12

Combine like terms: 18 + -12 = 6

2x = 6

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 3

Simplifying

x = 3

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, get your variables and constants separated on either side of the =

Whatever you do to one side, you have to do to the other.

12 + 5x = 18 + 3x

subtract 3x from both sides to cancel out the 3x on the right:

12 + 5x - 3x = 18 + 3x - 3x    

12 + 2x = 18

subtract 12 from both sides to cancel out the 12 on the left side:

12 - 12 + 2x = 18 - 12    

now just solve for x

2x = 6

divide both sides by 2 to cancel out the 2 on the left side:

2x / 2 = 6 / 2

x = 3

Find the coordinates of the vertices of a triangle after a 90 degree rotation counterclockwise about the origin.
Oksana_A [137]

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule for a 90 degree counterclockwise is

(x,y) -> (-y,x)

so

C(-1,2) -> C'(-2,-1)

D(3,5) -> D'(-5,3)

E(1,2) -> E'(-2,1)

Find the lateral area for the prism. L.A. =<br> Find the total area for the prism. T.A. =
Ksivusya [100]
The lateral area of the prism is given by:
LA=[area of the two triangles]+[area of the lateral rectangles]
hypotenuse of the triangle will be given by Pythagorean:
c^2=a^2+b^2
c^2=6^2+4^2
c^2=52
c=sqrt52
c=7.211'
thus the lateral area will be:
L.A=2[1/2*4*6]+[6*8]+[8*7.211]
L.A=24+48+57.69
L.A=129.69 in^2

The total are will be given by:
T.A=L.A+base area
base area=length*width
=4*8
=32 in^2
thus;
T.A=32+129.69
T.A=161.69 in^2
