Answer:

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(4 x + 6)/2 + 3 = -6

Hint: | Put the fractions in (4 x + 6)/2 + 3 over a common denominator.

Put each term in (4 x + 6)/2 + 3 over the common denominator 2: (4 x + 6)/2 + 3 = 6/2 + (4 x + 6)/2:

6/2 + (4 x + 6)/2 = -6

Hint: | Combine 6/2 + (4 x + 6)/2 into a single fraction.

6/2 + (4 x + 6)/2 = ((4 x + 6) + 6)/2:

(4 x + 6 + 6)/2 = -6

Hint: | Add the numbers in 4 x + 6 + 6 together.

Add like terms. 6 + 6 = 12:

(4 x + 12)/2 = -6

Hint: | Multiply both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Multiply both sides of (4 x + 12)/2 = -6 by 2:

(2 (4 x + 12))/2 = -6×2

Hint: | Cancel common terms in the numerator and denominator of (2 (4 x + 12))/2.

(2 (4 x + 12))/2 = 2/2×(4 x + 12) = 4 x + 12:

4 x + 12 = -6×2

Hint: | Multiply 2 and -6 together.

2 (-6) = -12:

4 x + 12 = -12

Hint: | Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.

Subtract 12 from both sides:

4 x + (12 - 12) = -12 - 12

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

12 - 12 = 0:

4 x = -12 - 12

Hint: | Evaluate -12 - 12.

-12 - 12 = -24:

4 x = -24

Hint: | Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Divide both sides of 4 x = -24 by 4:

(4 x)/4 = (-24)/4

Hint: | Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.

4/4 = 1:

x = (-24)/4

Hint: | Reduce (-24)/4 to lowest terms. Start by finding the GCD of -24 and 4.

The gcd of -24 and 4 is 4, so (-24)/4 = (4 (-6))/(4×1) = 4/4×-6 = -6:

Answer: x = -6

I need to know how to balance the scales it says ''Make the scales balance by using addition and subtraction to find in the miss
kramer

This would be much, much, much easier if you told us
what numbers you do have on each side of the scale now.

The idea (probably) is that the scale is balanced when
the numbers add up to the same amount on both sides.

So you need to put some numbers in the blanks that will either
add more to the side that has less, or subtract some from the side
that has more, to make both sides equal.

Add. 3/10+(−7/20) Enter your answer
Oliga [24]
Make the denominator the same, so multiple 3/10 by 2, which produces 6/20. Take 6/20 and subtract 7/20 because adding a negative number is the same as subtracting a positive number. the Answer is -1/20.
