Answer: x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

-4(-6x + 3) = 12

Reorder the terms:

-4(3 + -6x) = 12

(3 * -4 + -6x * -4) = 12

(-12 + 24x) = 12

Solving

-12 + 24x = 12

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '12' to each side of the equation.

-12 + 12 + 24x = 12 + 12

Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0

0 + 24x = 12 + 12

24x = 12 + 12

Combine like terms: 12 + 12 = 24

24x = 24

Divide each side by '24'.

x = 1

Simplifying

x = 1

Let's find out the gradient (Slope " m ") of line q ;

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:m = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:m = \dfrac{4 - 0}{0 - 1}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:m = - 4$

Now, since we already know the gradient let's find of the equation of line by using its Slope and one of the points using point slope form of line :

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:y - 4 = m(x - 0)$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:y = mx + 4$

Now, plug in the value of gradient ~

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:y = - 4x + 4$

here we can clearly observe that, the Area under the curve can easily be represented as :

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:y < - 4x + 4$

Since, all the values of y that lies in the shaded region is smaller than the actual value of y for the corresponding values of x in the equation of line q

Jonas builds a snow fort. He tells his friends it is 0.8 meters tall inside, but he rounded the height to the nearest tenth. Whi

Lelu [443]

Answer:

0.77

Step-by-step explanation:

If you had to round to the nearest tenth, 0.89 would round to 0.9. 0.74 would round down to 0.7. 0.85 would also round up to 0.9, which leaves the last answer, 9.77 to be rounded to 0.8. Hope this helps

Simplify 22-5(2x+4)<br> a. -10x+26<br> b. -10x+2<br> c. 34x+4<br> d. 34x+68

KengaRu [80]

Hi.

$22-5(2x+4) \\ \\ \implies 22-10x-20 \\ \\ \implies -10x+22-20 \\ \\ \implies -10x +2$

Hence,

The correct option is $\boxed{\sf b. -10x+2}$

Thanks.
