3(2x + 4) = 72 What’s x

Mathematics
1 answer:
Tresset [83]2 years ago
6 0

Answer: x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

(3)(2x) = 6x

(3)(4) = 12

12-12 cancels out

72-12 = 60

6x/6 cancels the 6 out

60/6 = 6

x = 6

You spent $145 purchasing 3 student tickets and 7 adult tickets. Adult tickets cost $5 more than a student ticket. Find the cost
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

$11 and $16

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the cost of a student ticket then an adult ticket is x + 5 , then

3x + 7(x + 5) = 145 , that is

3x + 7x + 35 = 145

10x + 35 = 145 ( subtract 35 from both sides )

10x = 110 ( divide both sides by 10 )

x = 11

Student ticket costs $11 and adult ticket = x + 5 = 11 + 5 = $16

Theorem: A line parallel to one side of a triangle divides the other two proportionately.
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Segment BF = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The given theorem states that a line parallel to one side of a triangle divides the other two sides proportionately

The given theorem is the Triangle Proportionality Theorem

According to the theorem, given that segment DE is parallel to segment BC, we have;

\dfrac{AD}{BD} = \dfrac{AE}{EC}

Therefore;

BD = \dfrac{AD}{\left(\dfrac{AE}{EC} \right) }  = AD \times \dfrac{EC}{AE}

Which gives;

BD = 6 \times \dfrac{18}{12}= 9

Similarly, given that EF is parallel to AB, we get;

\dfrac{AE}{EC} = \dfrac{BF}{FC}

Therefore;

BF = FC \times \dfrac{AE}{EC}

Which gives;

BF = 24 \times \dfrac{12}{18} = 16

Therefore, the statement that can be proved using the given theorem is segment BF = 16.

Write -12 in the improper fraction form.
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

\frac{-12}{1}

Step-by-step explanation:

An Improper Fraction has a top number larger than (or equal to) the bottom number.

To convert a whole number -12 into an improper fraction we can divide the whole number by one to turn it into a temporary fraction.

\frac{-12}{1}

Also we could multiply and divide -12 by another number greater than one, for example:

\frac{-12*2}{1*2} = \frac{-24}{2}

There are several ways we can write -12 in the improper fraction form.

(x/16)-(x+2)/8))=2<br><br><br><br> PLS HELP ME BRAINLIEST TO THE FIRST CORRECT ANSWER
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Simplify both sides of the equation

x/16−(x+2/8) = 2x/16 + −1/8x + −1/4 = 2

Distribute

1/16x + −1/8x + −1/4 = 2

(1/16x + −1/8x)+(−1/4) = 2

Combine Like Terms

−1/16x + −1/4 = 2

Add 1/4 to both sides.

−1/16x + −1/4 + 1/4 = 2 + 1/4

−1/16x = 9/4

Multiply both sides by 16/(-1).

(16/−1)*(−1/16x)=(16/−1)*(9/4)

x=−36
