$-5 =8m + \frac{12}{4} \\ \\ -5 = 8m + 3 \\ \\ -5 - 3 = 8m \\ \\ -8 = 8m \\ \\ - \frac{8}{8} 
=m \\ \\ -1 = m \\ \\ m = -1 \\ \\ Answer: \fbox {m = -1}$

m = -1

-5 = 8m + 12/4
-5 - 12/4 = 8m
4(-5) - (12/4) = 4(8m)

*to remove the denominator, multiply each figure by 4.

-20 -12 = 32m
-32 = 32m
-32/32 = 32m/32
-1 = m

m = -1

To check:

-5 = 8m + 12/4
-5 = 8(-1) + 3
-5 = -8 + 3
-5 = -5

Now

Total=E=7+5+2=12+2=14

Now

P(G')=14-2=12

Now

But pink is in 5

FAST PLEASE!! Emma weighs half as much as Sonya. Sonya weighs 120 pounds. How much

Andrew [12]

Answer:

I think it would be 120

Step-by-step explanation:

You add 120+120 and it would equal 240. Then 240 dived by 2 which will equal 120.

(120 + 120)= 240 dived by 2= 120 I might be wrong

Complete the sentence.

Answer: 3|x| = 3x when x $\geq$ 0 and 3|x| = -3x when x < 0

Step-by-step explanation: Absolute value basically refers to the distance of a point from the origin (zero), regardless of the direction. The absolute value of a number is represented by two vertical lines enclosing the number. For example, |6| = 6, or in this case, 3|x| = 3x. Here, the value is replaced by the term "x". "x" is used as a term for an unknown value/variable. so basically, we're solving for x kinda. Multiplying "x" (the unknown variable) by 3 gives us = 3x. We know from the sign $\geq$ that x can't be below zero, only above or equal to. So, 3lxl = 3x when x is above or equal to the origin (zero). We know from the second problem that x can't be above zero because of the sign <, only below zero. Because we can only go below zero, that positive 3 turns negative. Multiplying x by -3 gives us = -3x. So, 3|x| = -3x when x is blow the origin (zero).

Note: the absolute value of a number is always positive, but in this scenario this rule doesn't apply because "x" is not a number, only a unknown value.

Sorry in advance if my explanation still doesn't make sense. Math isn't my thing really.

Factor this expression completely, then place the factors in the proper location on the grid.

andreev551 [17]

Notice that you have a difference of cubes:

$\dfrac{x^3}8-\dfrac{y^3}{27}=\left(\dfrac x2\right)^3-\left(\dfrac y3\right)^3$

which can be factored using the rule,

$a^3-b^3=(a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)$

So,

$\dfrac{x^3}8-\dfrac{y^3}{27}=\left(\dfrac x2-\dfrac y3\right)\left(\dfrac{x^2}4+\dfrac{xy}6+\dfrac{y^2}9\right)$

and just to make things look nicer, we can pull out 1/6 from the first factor and 1/36 from the second to get

$\dfrac{x^3}8-\dfrac{y^3}{27}=\dfrac1{216}(3x-2y)(9x^2+6xy+4y^2)$
