Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4 =5x - 12

step1: get x by it self

you would get; 4 = 2x - 12

step2; make zero-pairs

you would get;   2x - 8

lastly; 8÷2=4x

Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out if the statement is true, just plug in 8 each time you see x.

3(8)+ 4 = 28

5(8) - 12 = 28

This proves the statement is true, x = 8.

I hope this helps. If you have any more questions, please feel free to post them and someone will be able to help you, whether it's myself or others. Please leave a like, rating, and if possible, Brainliest. Have a great day!

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r = number of rides

total amount of money spent has to be less than  or equal to 50

costs are admission and food and rides

rides cost 1.50 each

50≥ admission + food + rides

50 ≥ 15 +10 + 1.50r

Combine like terms

50 ≥25 + 1.50 r

Subtract 25 from each side

50-25 ≥25-25 + 1.50 r

25  ≥ 1.50 r

Divide by 1.5 on each side

25/1.5 ≥ 1.5r/1.5

50/3  ≥ r

Changing this to a mixed number

16 2/3  ≥r

We can only take a whole number of rides

r = 16

Beverly has not spent all of her 50 dollars since there was a fraction for the rides

cost =  15 +10 + 1.50r

        15+10 + 1.5*16

            25+24

           49

She has 1 dollar left

Solve for y in the following equation.
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

y = \frac{z^2 - x}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

\sqrt{x + 2y} = z

Required:

Solve for y (make y the subject of the formula)

SOLUTION:

\sqrt{x + 2y} = z

Square both sides

(\sqrt{x + 2y})^2 = z^2

x + 2y = z^2

Subtract both sides by x

2y = z^2 - x

Divide both sides by 2

y = \frac{z^2 - x}{2}

mamaluj [8]
The circumference of a circle - C=2 \pi r

C=62.8 \\ \\
62.8=2 \times 3.14 \times r \\
62.8=6.28r \\ \frac{62.8}{6.28}=r \\ r=10

The radius is 10 in.

4+7a=12+8a<br> with steps pls
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:a=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

4+7a=12+8a

So first you want to have the variables on the same side

4+7a-7a=12+8a-7a

This is how you got the 7a to the right side. Then you subtract 8a-7a So the equation becomes

4=12+a

Now there are two ways of doing this.

1. 4-12=12-12+a

You moved the 12 to the left side so you have the same variable on one side

4-12=-8

So then a=-8

Or

2. 4-4=12-4+a

0=8+a

then you would have to subtract 8 to keep 'a' by itself

-8=8-8+a

simplify it

-8=a

same thing
