Raul is solving -6x=72.Find his mistake and correct it.
Otrada [13]
I don't see any errors. Raul has the correct steps and final answer. We can check the answer by replacing x with -12 and simplifying the left side

-6x = 72
-6*x = 72
-6*(-12) = 72 ... replace x with -12
72 = 72 

Since we get a true equation, we have confirmed the answer is actually x = -12

What is x in rx+h=sx-k
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

-k-h/r-s

When solving the goal is to get x on one side and not x on the other.

rx + h = sx - k

rx - sx + h = -k                   <------- subtract sx from both sides

rx - sx = -k - h                   <-------subtract h from both sides

x (r - s) = -k -h                   <------factor out x which is in both rx and sx

x = - k - h / r - s                 <-------divide by r-s on both sides

Caroline babysat for two families - the Nelsons and the Smiths. Use the info below to compare her earnings.
algol13

Answer:

She earns $6.50 from the Smiths which is 25 cents more than she earns at the Nelsons.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you must find the hourly rate she earns at the Smiths.  This will allow you to compare to the hourly rate that is given for the Nelsons.  To find the Smiths hourly rate divide $39 by the 6 hours she babysat there.  This will have the hourly rate.  39/6=6.5.  This means she earns $6.50 an hour for the Smiths.  When comparing the rates it is clear that she earned 25 cents more at the Smiths.

Can someone please help me (Math)
Ratling [72]

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a triangle, all interior angles add up to 180 so:

57 + 73 + 3x + 17 = 180

3x + 147 = 180

3x = 180 - 147

3x = 33

x = 11
