What is the value of X?

Simplify:
8x - 10 - 4x = - 12(12x - 20)

Simplify both sides:
8x - 10 - 4x = - 12(12x -20)

8x + - 10 + - 4x = (- 12)(12x) + ( -12)(- 20)
(Distribute:)
8x + - 10 + - 4x = 144x 240

(8x + - 4x) + ( -10) = - 144x + 240 (Combine Like Terms:)

4x + - 10 = - 144x + 240

4x - 10 = - 144x + 240

Add - 144x to both sides:

4x - 10 + 144x = - 144x + 240 + 144x

148x - 10 = 240

Add 10 to both sides:

148x - 10 + 10 = 240 + 10

148x = 250

Divide both sides by 148

148x/148 = 250/148

x = 125/74

Answer: x = 125/74 (Decimal: 1.689189)

Hope that helps!!!!

Our math team had m students last year, but this year it has already n students! By what percent did the number of students grow

AlekseyPX

For this case we are going to assume the following:
m: whole number greater than zero.
n: integer greater than zero.
Where,
n> m
According to these assumptions, the percentage of growth is given by the following formula:
$(n / m) * 100 - 100$
Answer:
the number of students did grow by:
$(n / m) * 100 - 100$

Pleas help I honestly hate ttm and this hasn't been taught yet

Lateral surface area just means the surface area, but excluding the top and base, so for a pyramid the lateral surface area would just be the surface area of all four triangles.

To find the surface area of the four triangles, you first do base × height = 32 × 24 = 768, and then divide that by 2 which is 384. Now you can just multiply this by 4 and get your answer as 1,536 square centimeters.

I hope this helps!
