Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Rewrite the equation:

2(3x - 3) = -18

2. Use the distributive property:

2(3x - 3) = -18 ---> 6x - 6 = -18

3. Add 6 to both sides:

6x - 6 = -18 ---> 6x = -12

4. Divide both sides by 6:

6x = -12 ---> x = -2

Now we know our answer is -2, let's make sure it's correct:

2(3x - 3) = -18

2(3(-2) - 3) = -18

2(-6 - 3) = -18

-12 - 6 = -18

-18 = -18

This tells us our answer is true!

Hope this helps :D

Which graph represents the solution set of system of inequalities?

Elis [28]

$3y\geqx-9\qquad|:3\\\\y\geq\dfrac{1}{3}x-3\\\\3x+y > -3\qquad|-3x\\\\y > -3x-3$

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}y\geq\dfrac{1}{3}x-3\\\\y > -3x-3\end{array}\right$

$y=\dfrac{1}{3}x-3\\\\for\ x=0\to y=\dfrac{1}{3}(0)-3=-3\to(0,\ -3)\\\\for\ x=3\to y=\dfrac{1}{3}(3)-3=1-3=-2\to(3,\ -2)\\\\y=-3x-3\\\\for\ x=0\to y=-3(0)-3=-3\to(0,\ -3)\\\\for\ x=-1\to y=-3(-1)-3=3-3=0\to(-1,\ 0)$

$y\geq\dfrac{1}{3}x-3$

solid line. we shade above the line

$y > -3x-3$

the dotted line. shadow above the line

Last week, Gina's art teacher mixed 9 pints of red paint with 6 pints of white paint to make pink. Gina mixed 4 pints of red pai

No, in order to do the correct ratio she would have needed to add 4.5 pints to 3 pints because if you divide 9:6 by 2 it is 4.5:3 not 4:3

Convert 17.47° to degrees, minutes, and seconds..

never [62]

For this question, this might help.
17.47 degrees is 17 + 0.47 degrees
If you are using minutes instead of decimal degrees, multiply the fraction by 60. So,

0.47 degrees * 60 minutes per degree= 28.2 minutes

Now you have 17 degrees 28.2 minutes but you can replace fractions of a minute with seconds

0.2 minutes * 60 seconds per minute= 12 seconds

So the answer for 17.47º is equal to 17º 28' 12".

I hope this helps.

What is the simplified form of 12x/900x²y4z6?

zalisa [80]

Answer:

$360xy^2|xz^3|$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

$12x \sqrt{900x^2y^4z^6}$

$\textsf{Apply radical rule} \quad \sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\sqrt{b}:$

$\implies 12x \sqrt{900}\sqrt{x^2}\sqrt{y^4}\sqrt{z^6}$

Replace 900 with 30² :

$\implies 12x \sqrt{30^2}\sqrt{x^2}\sqrt{y^4}\sqrt{z^6}$

$\textsf{Apply radical rule} \quad \sqrt{a^2}=a, \quad a \geq 0:$

$\implies 12x \cdot 30|x|\sqrt{y^4}\sqrt{z^6}$

$\implies 360x|x|\sqrt{y^4}\sqrt{z^6}$

(We need to use the absolute value of √x² since the x term was originally to the power of 2, which means the value of x² is always positive since the exponent is even).

$\textsf{Apply exponent rule} \quad \sqrt{a^m}=a^{\frac{m}{2}}:$

$\implies 360x|x|\cdot y^{\frac{4}{2}}\cdot z^{\frac{6}{2}}$

Simplify:

$\implies 360xy^2|xz^3|$

(We need to use the absolute value of z³ since the z term was original to the power of 6, which means the value of z⁶ is always positive since the exponent is even).
