Answer:

x=16

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 ( x - 4 ) = 1/3 ( x + 2)

distribute both sides

1 /2 (x−4)= 1/ 3 (x+2)

( 1 /2 )(x) + ( 1/ 2 )(−4) =( 1 /3 ) (x)+( 1/3 )(2)(Distribute)

1 /2 x+−2= 1 /3 x+ 2 /3

1 /2 x+−2= 1 /3 x+ 2 /3

Step 2: Subtract 1/3x from both sides.

1/2x -2 -1/3 x

x= 1 /3 x + 2/3  − 1/ 3 x

1 /6  x−2= 2/ 3

Step 3: Add 2 to both sides.

1 /6 x −2+2= 2/ 3  +2

1 /6 x = 8 /3

Step 4: Multiply both sides by 6.

6*( 1/6 x) =6*( 8 /3 )

x=16

First, apply the distribution property of multiplication.
1/2x - 2 = 1/3x + 2/3
Then, isolate x. To do this, subtract 1/2x on both sides and subtract 2/3 from both sides.
-2 - 2/3 = 1/3x - 1/2x
Make them the same denominator. The left side's denominator is 3 and the right side's denominator is 6.
-6/3 - 2/3 = 2/6x - 3/6x
Subtract.
-8/3 = -1/6x
Multiply both sides by -6 to get rid of the denominator on x.
-8/3 * -6 = -1/6x * -6
48/3 = x
16 = x
Your answer is 16.

A class of 33 students elected a class treasurer. There were 11 votes for Candidate A and 15 votes for Candidate B. The remainin
vovangra [49]
To start out, notice that you want the percent of voters that chose candidate A, not the percent of the class that chose candidate A.

Your fraction should be "number that chose candidate A" out of "number of voters," which is the same thing as saying:  
"number that chose candidate A" divided by "number of voters"

1) The numerator of the fraction should be the number of votes for candidate A, which is 11.

2) The denominator of the fraction should be the number of voters. You're told that "t<span>here were 11 votes for Candidate A and 15 votes for Candidate B," so there are:
</span>11 + 15 \: total \: votes

3) Finally put parts 1 and 2 together into a fraction and multiply by 100 to get your percent. That is your final answer:
\frac{11}{11+15}  \times 100

----

Answer: Top right choice, \frac{11}{11+15} \times 100

50 PONTIS Score for Question 3: ___ of 5 points) 3. Solve the given inequality and graph the solution on a number line. Show you
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

If x equals -1 or anything less than -1, then the inequality statement is false

Step-by-step explanation:

So to find the number x has to be for the statement to be false, we have to find what number x would be to make it so both sides equal the same thing. So in this case, it would be -1 because 5-3 equals 2 and -2x=2 only if x=-1. So anything greater than -1 would make the statement true.

I hope this helped.
