Answer:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2 ( x+12 ) = 4x − 6

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2 (x+12) = 4x − 6

(2) (x) + (2) (12) = 4x + −6 (Distribute)

2x + 24 = 4x + −6

2x + 24 = 4x − 6

Step 2: Subtract 4x from both sides.

2x + 24 − 4 x = 4x − 6 − 4x

−2x + 24 = −6

Step 3: Subtract 24 from both sides.

−2x + 24 − 24 = −6 −24

−2x = −30

Step 4: Divide both sides by -2.

−2x  / −2  =  −30  / −2

x=15

Answer:

x=15

It was recently estimated that females outnumber males by about three or two. If there are 1770 people in a county, how many of
max2010maxim [7]

GIVEN

1) Females outnumber males by 3 to 2.

2) There are 1770 people in the city.

SOLUTION

Let the number of males be x and the number of females y. Therefore, the total number of people can be written to be:

x+y=1770\text{   -----------(1)}

If there are 3 females for every 2 males, we have that:

\begin{gathered} \frac{y}{3}=\frac{x}{2} \\ \therefore \\ x=\frac{2y}{3}\text{   ----------(2)} \end{gathered}

We can substitute equation (2) into equation (1) and solve for y:

\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{3}y+y=1770 \\ \frac{2y+3y}{3}=1770 \\ 5y=1770\times3 \\ 5y=5310 \end{gathered}

Dividing both sides by 5, we have

y=1062

There are 1062 females in the county.

Explain how you can use the distributive property to check the binomial factors when a trinomial has been factored. Include an e
erica [24]
What you can do is split one of the binomials and then apply the distributive property if f(x) = (x + 3)(x -2) split the 1st binomial f(x) = x(x -2) + 3(x -2) now apply the distributive property to get
f(x)=x2−2x+3x−6
which simplifies to
f(x)=x2+x−6
