-2x - 4 = 12
add 4 to both sides of the equation
-2x = 16
divide -2 from both sides of the equation
x = -8

the new fraction: 8/3 or 2 2/3

What fraction of 1/2 is 1/3? Draw a tape diagram to represent and answer the question.Please help with this 6th grade math quest
TEA [102]

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Given information:

Let x be the number

Mathematically, the statement can be translated below as

\begin{gathered} x\text{ }\times\frac{1}{2}\text{ = }\frac{1}{3} \\ \frac{x}{2}\text{ = }\frac{1}{3} \\ \text{Cross multiply} \\ 3\times x\text{ = 2}\times1 \\ 3x\text{ = 2} \\ \text{Divide both sides by 3} \\ \frac{3x}{3}\text{ = }\frac{2}{3} \\ x\text{ = }\frac{2}{3} \end{gathered}

The next step is to represent it on a tape diagram

There are a total of 66 students in the
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

A = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

sum of students = classA + classB + classC

let's say classA = A, classB = B, and classC = C

A + B + C = 66

class A has five more students than class B, so A = 5 more than B so A = 5+B

class C has 2 less students than class B, so C = 2 less than class B = B -2, so C = B-2

A + B + C = 66

A = 5+B

C = B-2

substitute 5+B for A and B-2 for C in the first equation to limit this to one variable (B)

(5+B) + B + (B-2) = 66

3B + 3 = 66

subtract 3 from both sides to isolate the variable and its coefficient

3B = 63

divide both sides by 3 to solve for B
B = 21

A = 5 + B = 5 + 21 = 26

What are the zeros of the quadratic function f(x) = 6x^2 + 12x – 7?
irinina [24]
<span>6x^2 + 12x – 7 = 0

Use the quadratic formula:

x=  \frac{-b +/-  \sqrt{b^2 -4ac} }{2a}

\frac{-12+/- \sqrt{ 12^{2} -4(6)(-7)} }{12} = \frac{-12+/-17.66}{12}

x = 0.47 and x = -2.47
