Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
since they give you y this is a very simple problem
simply replace y with -3 and get
3x+(-3)=6
adding a negative number is the same as subtracting a positive number
3x-3=6
add 3 on both sides
3x=9
divide by 3 on both sides
x=3
Hey there!
2(x - 3) / y = 5
2(x - 3) / 5 = 5
2(x) + 2(-3) / 5 = 5
(2x - 6) 5 = 5
MULTPLY 5 to BOTH SIDES
(2x - 6)/5 * 5 = 5 * 5
SIMPLIFY IT!
2x - 6 = 5 * 5
2x - 6 = 25
ADD 6 to BOTH SIDES
2x - 6 + 6 = 25 + 6
SIMPLIFY IT!
2x = 25 + 6
2x = 31
DIVIDE 2 to BOTH SIDES
2x/2 = 31/2
SIMPLIFY IT!
x = 31/2
x = 15 1/2
Therefore, the answer should be:
x = 15 1/2
Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!

Answer: option c
length = 9m
Perimeter = 26.4m
Step-by-step explanation:
A rectangle has a width of 4.2 m and an area of 37.8 m^2
We want yo determine the length of the rectangle and the perimeter of the rectangle.
The perimeter of the rectangle is the distance round the shape. Let the width of the triangle be w.
The perimeter of the rectangle would be expressed as Length + width + length + width. This becomes
2(length +width). So the perimeter of the given rectangle is
2(length + 4.2) but the area is given as 37.8 m^2. Area of a rectangle is length × width. It becomes
37.8= length × 4.2
Length = 37.8/4.2 = 9m
Therefore, the perimeter is
2(length + 4.2) = 2(9+4.2)
Perimeter = 2× 13.2 = 26.4m
8 x - 4 (5 - x) = -44
mutiply the bracket by -4
(-4)(5) = -20
(-4)(-x)= 4x
8x-20+4x= -44
8x+4x-20= -44 ( combine like terms )
12x-20= -44
move -20 to the other side
sign changes from -20 to +20
12x-20+20= -44+20
12x= -44+20
12x= -24
divide both sides by 12
12x/12= -24/12
Answer: x= -2
