Answer:

Dont think eh multiplied both sides by 4. That would be the first step.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4(x+12)=2

multiply both sides by 4

x+12=8

move the 8 to the right side of the equation and change its sign

x=8-12

calculate

x= -4

Answer:

He didn't multiply 1/4 between both terms in the brackets.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4(x+12)=2

1/4x+3=2

1/4x= -1

x= -4

Hope that makes sense!

state whether the lines represented by the equations y=1/2x-1 and y+4=-1/2(x-2) are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
Zepler [3.9K]
Parallel because they have the same slope. Y+4= -1/2(x-2) is in point slope form, simplified to y intercept form is y=1/2-5... The slope (m) in both equations is the same, if you graphed the equations they would be parallel

After a storm, a tree lies as shown. What was the original height of the tree? (Round to the nearest whole foot.)
Andreyy89
Using the Law of Sines, sina/A=sinb/B=sinc/C (although there are other ways considering that this is a 30, 60, 90 degree triangle with a basic identity) we can say:

97/sin60=x/sin30=y/sin90

x=97sin30/sin60 and y=97sin90/sin60

The total height of the tree is h=x+y so

h=97sin30/sin60 + 97sin90/sin60

h≈168.01 ft (to the nearest hundredth of a foot)

h≈168 ft (to nearest foot)

Solve x-5y=17 for y?
damaskus [11]

Answer:

Y = 12.

Explanation: Because 17- 5 is 12 and  when you are doing problems like that, you are supposed to subtract the number behing the equal sign with the number in front of the equal sign. So, that would be 17- 5. And that gives you 12. So, Y=12.
