What is the solution to the equation 4x + 2(x − 2) = 4x + x − 12? (1 point)

Mathematics

Anettt [7]3 years ago

Answer:

It's   -8

Step-by-step explanation:

DISTRIBUTE :

4x + 2( x - 2 ) = 4x + x - 12

4x + 2x - 4 = 4x + x - 12

COMBINE LIKE TERMS :

4x + 2x - 4 = 4x + x - 12

6x - 4 = 4x + x - 12

COMBINE LIKE TERMS :

6x - 4 = 4x + x - 12

6x - 4 = 5x - 12

ADD 4 TO BOTH SIDES :

6x - 4 = 5x - 12

6x - 4 + 4 = 5x - 12 + 4

ADD THE NUMBERS/ SIMPLIFY :

6x = 5x - 8

SUBTRACT 5x FROM BOTH SIDES :

6x = 5x - 8

6x - 5x = 5x - 8 - 5x

SIMPLIFY :

x = -8

The boeing 747 airplane is 250 feet in length. If a model of this plane is 8 inches long , what scale was used to create this mo
cluponka [151]

Answer: The wingspan is 36 m.

Using a proportion to solve this, we write the scale factor as a ratio first:  19/38, since 19 is the size of the model's length and 38 is the real length.  For the second ratio, we have 18 for the size of the model wingspan and x for the real wingspan:

19/38 = 18/x

Cross multiply:

19*x = 38*18

19x = 684

17x-3y=4 2x-4y=1 the solution to the system of equations is
Burka [1]

ANSWER

x=\frac{13}{62}

and


y= \frac{-9}{62}e have



EXPLANATION




17x-3y=4---(1)


2x-4y=1



Let us make y the subject and call it equation (2)


2x=1+4y


x=\frac{1}{2}+2y--(2)



We put equation (2) in to equation (1)




17(\frac{1}{2}+2y)-3y=4


\frac{17}{2}+34y-3y=4



34y-3y=4- \frac{17}{2}


Simplify to get,



31y= \frac{8-17}{2}



31y= \frac{-9}{2}


Divide both sides by 31,



y= \frac{-9}{2} \div 31



y= \frac{-9}{2} \times \frac{1}{31}




y= \frac{-9}{62}


We put this value in to equation (2) to get,



x=\frac{1}{2}+2\times -\frac{9}{62}




x=\frac{1}{2} -\frac{18}{62}


We collect LCM to obtain,



x=\frac{31-18}{62}



x=\frac{13}{62}

Danika has one apple that weighs 1/4 lb and another apple weighs 3/16 lb. Find the DIFFERENCE in their weights.
Mama L [17]

Answer: A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Danika has 1/4 lb apple and a 3/16 apple. We have to find a common denominator to be able to subtract them. We can do this by finding out 4 times how much equals 16. Which is 4. So you multiply both of the numbers by 4, (1x4 = 4 , 4x4 = 16) being 4/16. Now you just have to subtract the top numbers "4-3 = 1" 1/16.
