Answer:

12x - 7 <em>or </em>-7 + 12x <em>(changing the order of the values will not change the answer!)</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

identify the first set of like terms that you're going to combine. i'm going to start with the x terms. you don't have to start with those, but that's just how i'm going to do it.

<u>14x</u> - 4 <u>- 2x</u> - 3

combine the first set of like terms.

14x - 2x

after subtracting 2x, you're left with 12x.

identify the remaining like terms from the original expression.

14x <u>- 4</u> - 2x <u>- 3</u>

combine the remaining like terms.

-4 - 3 <em>aka -4 + -3</em>

after subtracting 3 from -4, you're left with -7.

i hope this helps! have a great day <3

the sum of three numbers is 207. the second number is 8 times the first, while the third is 3 less than the first, find the numb
pentagon [3]
First number = X
Second number = 8X
Third number = X - 3  

The equation would be
X + (8X) + (X - 3) = 207 

X + (8X) + (X - 3) = 207

X + 8X + X - 3 = 207

10X - 3 = 207

10X = 207 + 3

10X = 210

X = 21

First number = 21
Second number = 8 * 21 = 168
Third number = 21 - 3 = 18

I think its B. Because 396 divided by 3 equals 132 (there's 3 feet in a yard)

A 18 foot ladder is leaning against a wall as shown
Inga [223]
I'm guessing the diagram shows a ladder leaning against a wall, making a right angle triangle with respect to the ground and the wall.

So, the wall's height is going to be the 'h', which will also be the 'opposite side' from the angle <span>ϴ which is made from the ladder and the ground.
</span>The ladder's length (18 foot) is going to be the 'hypotenuse' side and the other remaining side will be the 'adjacent'.

Now, once you've sorted out which side is which, we have to find the h (opp), and according to  SOH CAH TOA, we will choose Sin<span>ϴ = opp/hyp.
</span>so Sinϴ = h/18....now we gotta find h, so 'cross multiply' the equation to get  h = 18 x sin<span>ϴ.
</span>
To find angle ϴ, simply take the inverse of Sinϴ= h/18... and you'll get ϴ =  sin-1 (sin inverse) h/18

Hope this helps
