Answer:
x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
In both questions you want to get the x alone.
1.
-3x + (-6) = 9
First you want to add 6 to both sides so you'll be left with:
-3x = 15
Next, you want to divide both sides by -3 and you'll get:
x = -5
2.
-4x + (-12) = 8
You want to do the same thing as the first one so you'll add 12 to both sides:
-4x = 20
Then, you will divide both sides by -4 and get:
x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
[(-3 × 2 × (-4)] ÷ [-6 × 12]
[3 × 2 × -4] ÷ [-6 × 12]
[6 × -4]/[-6 × 12]
-4/(-1 × 12]
-4/-12
⅓
Option A is wrong
Option B is wrong -9/-18 = ½ not ⅓
Option C is correct = -24/-72 = ⅓
Option D is wrong = 9/-18 = -½ not ⅓
Answer:
Patricia spent $24 on presents, while Donald spent $12 and Carl spent $36.
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem is to solve how much money each person spent on presents in the year, through a series of equivalences. In order to determine how much money each one spent, the following equation must be proposed:
Patricia = X
Donald = 1 / 2X
Carl = 3/2 X
X + 1 / 2X + 3 / 2X = 72
1X + 0.5 X + 1.5 X = 72
3X = 72
X = 72/3
X = 24
Thus, Patricia spent $ 24 on presents, while Donald spent $ 12 (2/24) and Carl spent $ 36 (1.5 x 24).
