Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3 (x – 4) = 2x + 6 Remove the brackets

3x - 12 = 2x + 6 Add 12 to both sides.

3x - 12 + 12 = 2x + 6 + 12 Combine

3x = 2x + 18 Subtract 2x from both sides

3x-2x = 2x-2x + 18 Combine

x = 18

Liz is using the distributive property to evaluate the expression 27(36) by using friendlier numbers. Her work is shown below.

Katen [24]

Liz attempted to factor 36. Since 36 = 3*12 and not 3+12, this is not the way to go. In stead of factoring 36, she should have split it into a friendly sum, like 36=30+6.

Then Step 1 should have been 27(6+30).

The length of one leg of a right triangle is 20 ft and the length of the hypotenuse is 52 ft. What is the length of the other le

Ludmilka [50]

We will apply Pythagoras theorem in a right triangle, which states

" Consider a right triangle with hypotenuse 'h' and two legs say 'b' and 'p'. Pythagoras theorem states that the square of hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of both the legs of a triangle".

Mathematically, $h^{2}=b^{2}+p^{2}$ (Equation 1)
