Answer: - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 8 = -2

3x = -2 + 8

3x = 6

x = 6/3

x = 2

so, therefore x - 6 => 2 - 6 = -4

Answer:

x-6 = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 8= -2

Add 8 to each side

3x - 8+8= -2+8

3x = 6

Divide by 3

3x/3 = 6/2

x =2

We want to find x-6

2-6 = -4

Mal is putting money into a savings account. She starts with $350 in the savings account, and each week she adds $30.

Bogdan [553]

S=350+(30*w)
so
350+(30*19)=920

Which shows the expressions rewritten with the least common denominator?

baherus [9]

Answer:

D. (14x-4)/(8x^2) and (x^2-x)/(8x^2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The least common denominator will be 8x^2, the product of 2 and x to the highest of their powers in either of the denominators.

$\left\{\dfrac{7x-2}{4x^2},\ \dfrac{x-1}{8x}\right\}=\left\{\dfrac{7x-2}{4x^2}\cdot\dfrac{2}{2},\ \dfrac{x-1}{8x}\cdot\dfrac{x}{x}\right\}\\\\=\left\{\dfrac{14x-4}{8x^2},\ \dfrac{x^2-x}{8x^2}\right\}$

const2013 [10]

Assuming it was an entire year so 12 months
12 x 13 = 156
289 x 0.07 = 20.23
156 + 20.23 = $176.23
