3/4x=-18 what is the answer?

Answer:

X= 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    3/4*x-(18)=0

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

           3

Simplify   —

           4

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  3        

 (— • x) -  18  = 0

  4        

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

2.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  4  as the denominator :

         18     18 • 4

   18 =  ——  =  ——————

         1        4  

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

3x - (18 • 4)     3x - 72

—————————————  =  ———————

      4              4  

Step  3  :

Pulling out like terms :

3.1     Pull out like factors :

  3x - 72  =   3 • (x - 24)

Equation at the end of step  3  :

 3 • (x - 24)

 ————————————  = 0

      4      

Step  4  :

When a fraction equals zero :

4.1    When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

 3•(x-24)

 ———————— • 4 = 0 • 4

    4    

Now, on the left hand side, the  4  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

  3  •  (x-24)  = 0

Equations which are never true :

4.2      Solve :    3   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

4.3      Solve  :    x-24 = 0

Add  24  to both sides of the equation :

                     x = 24

One solution was found :

                  x = 24

almond37 [142]

Circle: When x and y are both squared and the coefficients on them are the same — including the sign.

For example, take a look at 3x2 – 12x + 3y2 = 2. Notice that the x2 and y2 have the same coefficient (positive 3). That info is all you need to recognize that you’re working with a circle.

Parabola: When either x or y is squared — not both.

5. In the given sequence 32, 28, 24, 20, What rule is applied?
Nitella [24]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

A number is <em>n</em>, therefore you can start off with 32 and subtract 4 getting you 28. Subtract 4 and you get 24, and again 20.

Write an explicit formula for an, the nth term of the sequence 75, 15, 3, ....
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

aₙ = 75 x 0.2ⁿ⁻¹   or 75 x (1/5)ⁿ⁻¹

Step-by-step explanation:

a₁ = 75

a₂ = 75 x 0.2¹ = 75 x 0.2 ²⁻¹ = 15

a₃ = 75 x 0.2² = 75 x 0.2³⁻¹ = 3

.......

aₙ = 75 x 0.2ⁿ⁻¹   or 75 x (1/5)ⁿ⁻¹
