Answer:

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{1}{2} x - 7 = \frac{1}{3}(x - 12)

Multiply both sides by 6 ( the LCM of 2 and 3 ) to clear the fractions

3x - 42 = 2(x - 12) ← distribute

3x - 42 = 2x - 24 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

x - 42 = - 24 ( add 42 to both sides )

x = 18

Darina [25.2K]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Step 2 is incorrect. She added 4 and 2 first, but you are supposed to multiply and divide first. Then she multiplied 6 and 6, which is 36. Then she divided 36 and 2, which is 18, and then she subtracted 7, giving her 11. Step 2 is what threw the whole thing off.

Here is what Sandy should have done.

STEP 1: 6·4+2÷2-7

STEP 2: 24+1-7

STEP 3: 25-7

STEP 4: 18

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day! :D

Eight times the reciprocal of a number equals 4 times the reciprocal of 2. find the number
uysha [10]

Answer:

The number is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number  = 'x'

Reciprocal of 'x' = 1/x

Reciprocal of 2 = 1/2

8 times the reciprocal of 'x' = 8*\frac{1}{x}\\

8*\frac{1}{x}= 4* \frac{1}{2}\\\\8*\frac{1}{x}= 2\\

Now multiply both sides by x

8*\frac{1}{x}*x = 2*x\\\\8 = 2x

Now divide both sides by 2

\frac{8}{2}=\frac{2x}{2}\\\\4 = x

x = 4

These two triangles are similar what is the measure of angle M?
sashaice [31]

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

We can ignore the fact they are similar altogether. It's known that all 3 angles of a triangle add up to 180, so:

180=102+48+m

180=150+m

30=m
