Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x-2)=12

divide both sides by 3

x-2=4

add 2 to both sides

x-2+2=4+2

combine like terms

x=6

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

So the equation looks like this:

3(x - 2) = 12

So the first thing we are going to do in this equation is multiply 3 by x and -2 in order to get rid of the parenthesis:

3(x - 2) = 12

(3 * x) + (3 * (-2)) = 12

3x - 6 = 12

Now we are going to add 6 to -6 and what you to one side of the equation you do to the other:

3x - 6 = 12

    + 6  + 6

3x = 18

Now in order to segregate the variable x from 3 we are going to have to divide 3x by 3 and what you do to one side of the equation you do to the other:

3x/3 = 18/3

x = 6

Now in order to check our work we are going to replace the variable x with six in the equation:

3(x - 2) = 12 = 3((6) - 2) = 12

(3 * 6) + (-2 * 3) = 12

18 - 6 = 12

12 = 12

Tada, hope this helps you!!

Luden [163]
The answer is .008

Ok so lets explain this with an easier number like 1.

1 times 1/10 is 1/10 or in decimals its .1

So the decimal just got moved further back. Same thing happens with any number.

What is the equation of a line that passes through the points (-3, 4) and (2,8)?
ziro4ka [17]

Given that the line passes through the two points (-3,4) and (2,8)

We need to determine the equation of the line.

<u>Slope:</u>

The slope of the line can be determined using the formula,

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Substituting the points (-3,4) and (2,8) in the above formula, we get;

m=\frac{8-4}{2+3}

m=\frac{4}{5}

Thus, the slope of the line is m=\frac{4}{5}

<u>Equation of the line:</u>

The equation of the line can be determined using the formula,

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Substituting the point (-3,4) and m=\frac{4}{5} in the above formula, we have;

y-4=\frac{4}{5}(x+3)

y-4=\frac{4}{5}x+\frac{12}{5}

     y=\frac{4}{5}x+\frac{12}{5}+4

     y=\frac{4}{5}x+\frac{32}{5}

Thus, the equation of the line is y=\frac{4}{5}x+\frac{32}{5}
