Steps to solve:

-3(x + 2) = 12

~Distributive Property

(-3 * x) + (-3 * 2) = 12

~Simplify

-3x - 6 = 12

~Add 6 to both sides

-3x - 6 + 6 = 12 + 6

~Simplify

-3x = 18

~Divide -3 to both sides

-3x/-3 = 18/-3

~Simplify

x = -6

Best of Luck!

The length of a rectangle is 3 yd longer than its width. if the perimeter of the rectangle is 50 yd , find its length and width.
leva [86]
Length = w+3
P = 2L +2W
50 = 2(w+3) + 2w
50 = 2w +6 +2w
50 = 4w +6
50-6 =4w-6
44 = 4w
44/4 = 4w/4
w = 11
l = 11+3
l = 14

50 = 2L+2W
50 = 2(14) + 2(11)
50 = 28 +22
50=50

Please could someone please explain how i do this, much appreciated!

You want to multiply together the number of possible choices for each digit in the code.

0-9 is ten possible numbers, since repetitions are allowed (example code 2,2,2,2) there are ten possible choices per digit in the code.

10*10*10*10 = 10,000 four digit coded possible
