Let the number = x
x/2 + 12 = 46
x/2 = 46 - 12
x/2 = 34
x = 34 * 2
x = 68
So, your final answer is 68
Hope this helps!
Answers:
22.)D
23.)D
How?
Explaining number 22:
Well, let’s disprove each one of them.
A.) A is saying 6x=7. Even if we simplify that, it wouldn’t make any sense in what we are trying to do. That equation is equal to x=0.86(estimated to nearest tenth)
B.) B says that 6x=3. When we simplify this, we get x=0.5. That isn’t the number we want, so we know B isn’t right
C.) C is equivalent to 2x+2=6. Let’s simplify since it is multi-step.
2x+2=6
2x=6
x=3
Since we want x to be six, this wouldn’t be the answer either.
D.) D is saying 2x=12. When simplified, this becomes x=6. BINGO THERE IS OUR ANSWER
Explaining 23:
For this, I also used process of elimination.
Remember that x is equal to 2.5
A.)
x+3=5.5
2.5+3=5.5
5.5=5.5
That works.
B.)
2x=5
2(2.5)=5
5=5
That works.
C.)
2.5/2=1.25
1.25=1.25
That works
D.)
x-10=7.5
2.5-10=7.5
-7.5=7.5
THAT DOESNT WORK THERE IS OUR ANSWER
Answer:
x and y = 0
the question looks weird and almost wrong because when you subtract the equations, you are left with nothing
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the top equation by 3 to make the -x a -3x instead.
Then do the top equation - the bottom equation
At this point you should be left with x
