Answer:
x=−2
Step-by-step explanation:
1 Expand.
6-2x-12=3x+4
6−2x−12=3x+4
2 Simplify 6-2x-126−2x−12 to -2x-6−2x−6.
-2x-6=3x+4
−2x−6=3x+4
3 Add 2x2x to both sides.
-6=3x+4+2x
−6=3x+4+2x
4 Simplify 3x+4+2x3x+4+2x to 5x+45x+4.
-6=5x+4
−6=5x+4
5 Subtract 44 from both sides.
-6-4=5x
−6−4=5x
6 Simplify -6-4−6−4 to -10−10.
-10=5x
−10=5x
7 Divide both sides by 55.
-\frac{10}{5}=x
−
5
10
=x
8 Simplify \frac{10}{5}
5
10
to 22.
-2=x
−2=x
9 Switch sides.
x=-2
x=−2

Answer:
There are 40 problems on the test
Step-by-step explanation:
Let p = the number of problems on the test
The number of problems on the test times the percent correct is the number correct
p * 85% = 34
p * .85 = 34
Divide each side by .85
p * .85/.85 = 34/.85
p = 40
There are 40 problems on the test
