Answer: 14 = x

Step-by-step explanation: Start by distributing through the parenthses

on each side of the equation to get 4x + 16 = 6x - 12.

Now move your x's to the right and numbers

to the left and you get 28 = 2x.

Divide both sides by 2 and 14 = x.

Answer:

x = 14

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

4(x + 4) = 6(x - 2)

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Distribute:                                   4x + 16 = 6x - 12
  2. Subtract 4x on both sides:         16 = 2x - 12
  3. Add 12 on both sides:                28 = 2x
  4. Divide 2 on both sides:              14 = x
  5. Rewrite:                                       x = 14

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute:                    4(14 + 4) = 6(14 - 2)
  2. Add/Subtract:               4(18) = 6(12)
  3. Multiply:                        72 = 72

And we have our final answer!

Given: ΔABC; b= 10; c = 14, and ∠A = 54°. Find the length of side a to the nearest whole number.
algol13
We can solve for the length of side a to the nearest whole number using the Laws of Cosines such as the formula is shown below:
a²=b²+c²-2bcCosA
Solving for the value of a, we have:
a²=10²+14²-2(10)(14)cos54°
a²=131.42
a=11.46
The answer is 11.46 or 11.5.
