Hello!

So, let's simplify using the distributive property.

Let's look at <em>3(2x - 4). </em>You want to multiply 3 by every term inside the parentheses.

3*2x = 6x

3*-4= - 12

So now our expression looks like this:

(6x - 12) - 4x

Now we combine like terms. Our only like terms are 6x and -4x.

6x - 4x = 2x. So, our simplified expression is:

2x - 12.

Solve for x and explain the steps:<br> 3x-6=4(2-3x)-8x
mote1985 [20]

Answer: x = 14/23

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-6=4(2-3x)-8x

3x-6=8-12x-8x --> Expand 4(2-3x)

3x-6=8-20x --> Collect like terms

3x-6+6=8-20x+6 --> Add 6 to both sides, to remove it from the right side

3x=-20x+14

3x+20x=-20x+14+20x --> Add 20x to both sides, to remove it from the left side

23x=14

\frac{23x}{23}=\frac{14}{23} --> Divide both sides by 23

x = 14/23

If you place a 20 ft ladder 4ft from the base of the wall. How high up will it reach? Round answer to the nearest tenth
xeze [42]

Answer:

h = 19.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A 20 ft ladder 4ft from the base of the wall.

The height of the ladder, H = 20 ft

The base distance, b = 4 ft

We need to find the height of the reach. Let it is P.

Using Pythagoras theorem,

H^2=b^2+P^2\\\\P=\sqrt{H^2-b^2}\\\\P=\sqrt{20^2-4^2}\\\\=19.59\ ft

or

P = 19.6 ft

So, the height is 19.6 ft.
