-4x - 12 = 8

     + 12  +12

<u>-4x </u>=<u> 20</u>

-4     -4

<em>x = -5</em>

To ensure that x equals -5, let's substitute the negative integer with x.

-4 x -5 - 12 = 8

-20 - 12 = 8

8 = 8

Therefore, the answer is x = -5 because we confirmed our answer by substituting x with -5 and solving the equation and got the both sides of the equation equal.

-4x-12=8
Add12 to both sides
-4x= 20
Divide both sides by -4
X= -5

Half of the students in an International School are Americans. One third of the remaining students are Europeans, and the rest a
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

450 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s = number of students

1/2 are Americans  1/2s are Americans

s -1/2s = number of students left

1/2 s = number of students left

1/3 of the students left are Europeans

1/3 (1/2s) = 1/6s  are Europeans

The rest are Australians = 150

Students = Americans + Europeans + Australians

   s          =   1/2s          +    1/6s    + 150

Combine like terms

s    = 1/2*3/3 *s + 1/6s +150

s = 3/6s + 1/6s +150

s = 4/6s + 150

Subtract 4/6s from each side

s -4/6s = 150

6/6s - 4/6s = 150

2/6s = 150

1/3s = 150

Multiply each side by 3

3* 1/3s = 150*3

s = 450

There are 450 students

Write an equation of a line that passes through (3, -1) and is parallel and perpendicular to y = 6x - 4
Serhud [2]

Here,

y=mx+c

the slope of the line 6x+4y= -16 is -20.

if the two lines are perpendicular, the slope of 1st line * slope of second line=-1

the slope of the 2nd line is -1/2

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-13=-1/2(x- -18)

when you solve, you get the equation of the line as 2y+x=50

In basic geometry, if two geometry objects intersect at right angles (90 degrees or π / 2 radians), they are vertical.

If two lines intersect at right angles, the line is perpendicular to another line. Explicitly (1) if two lines intersect, the first line is perpendicular to the second line. (2) At the intersection, the straight line angle on one side of the first line is cut by the second line into two congruent angles. Verticality can be shown as symmetric. That is, if the first line is perpendicular to the second line, then the second line is also perpendicular to the first line. Therefore, two straight lines can be said to be perpendicular (to each other) without specifying the order.
