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!

Answer:

What goes in the blank is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we want to know what goes into the bracket when factorizing the expression above.

What we have a problem with is the terms x^2 - 4x + 4

We can rewrite this as;

x^2 -2x - 2x + 4

x(x-2) -2(x - 2)

That would thus be (x-2)^2

What goes into the bracket is thus the number 2

(SAT Prep) Find the value of x.
Delicious77 [7]

Answer: x=40°

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangles are congruent (I think it’s called the interior angle proof) so the bottom right angle is also 65°. All angles in a Triangle equal 180°, so 180-(75+65)=40

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

There are 220 choices

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

People = 12

Selection =3 (President, Treasurer and Secretary)

Required

Determine number of selection (if no restriction)

This is calculated using the following combination formula:

^nC_r = \frac{n!}{(n - r)!r!}

Where

n = 12

r= 3

So, we have:

^nC_r = \frac{n!}{(n - r)!r!}

^{12}C_3 = \frac{12!}{(12 - 3)!3!}

^{12}C_3 = \frac{12!}{9!3!}

^{12}C_3 = \frac{12*11*10*9!}{9!3!}

^{12}C_3 = \frac{12*11*10}{3!}

^{12}C_3 = \frac{12*11*10}{3*2*1}

^{12}C_3 = \frac{12*11*10}{6}

^{12}C_3 = 2*11*10

^{12}C_3 = 220\ ways

<em>There are 220 choices</em>
