Answer:

No Solution

Step-by-step explanation:

12x + 3 = 72x + 5

subtract 12x from both sides

end up with

3 = 72x - 12x + 5

subtract 12x to 72x

3 = 60x + 5

-5 from both sides

-8 = 60x

since x is a bigger number the answer would be NO SOLUTION

12x + 3 = 72x + 5

I do not understand lins logic

x + 6 = 7x + 10

subtract 6 from both sides

x = 7x + 4

move 7x to the other side

7x = 4

divide 7

x = 0.5

Also wrong because I get how lin got that answer

My way

12x + 3 = 72x + 5

-12 x from both sides

3 = 60x + 5

+5 to other side

8 = 60x

if the x was on the other side it would make sense

but it is not so the Answer is NO SOLUTION

Hope this Helped :)

which expression is equivalent to 6^-3?? options: a: -6^3 b: 3^6 c: 3 weird dash 6, d: (1 over 6) ^ 3

givi [52]

Answer:

d: (1/6)^3

Step-by-step explanation:

6^-3 = 1/216

a) (-6)^3 = -216

b) 3^6 = 729

c) sorry i don't know what you mean by weird dash haha

d) (1/6)^3 = 1/216

hopefully this helps :)

The environment club is having a trash pickup day. There are 130 people signed up to help. For the trash pickup day they will wo

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer: 33 groups

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of people that signed for help = 130 people

Number of people that can join a group = 4.

Number of groups that will be formed will be:

= Number of people that signed for help / Number of people that can join a group

= 130/4

= 32.5

= 33 groups

Since there'll be a remainder of 2 people, they will form a new group making 33 groups.

Consider the rectangle.

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Given:

The graph of a rectangle.

The given rectangle is dilated from the origin by a scale factor of 3.

To find:

The vertices of the image of the rectangle after the dilation.

Solution:

From the given graph it is clear that the vertices of the rectangle are A(0,2), B(0,4), C(3,4) and D(3,2).

If a figure is dilated from the origin by a scale factor of 3, then

$(x,y)\to (3x,3y)$

Using this rule, the vertices of the image are:

$A(0,2)\to A'(3(0),3(2))$

$A(0,2)\to A'(0,6)$

Similarly,

$B(0,4)\to B'(3(0),3(4))$

$B(0,4)\to B'(0,12)$

And,

$C(3,4)\to C'(3(3),3(4))$

$C(3,4)\to C'(9,12)$

And,

$D(3,2)\to D'(3(3),3(2))$

$D(3,2)\to D'(9,6)$

The vertices of the image after dilation are (0,6), (0,12), (9,12), (9,6).

Therefore, the correct options are B and F.
