Answer:
its b
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1/2.(x+12)=4x-1
x+12=2(4x-1)
x+12=8x-2
Group like terms
12+2=8x-x
14=7x
Divide both sides by 7
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
We have an equation with parentheses. To make our lives easier, first get rid of the parentheses. We do this by using the distributive property.
It is used like this: a(b + c) = ab + ac.
Use the distributive property on the left-hand side.
3(x - 1) = 6
3x - 3 = 6
Now we have an equation that is easier.
The x variable is being multiplied by 3 and added to -3.
Reverse all of these operations with their inverse operation.
3x - 3 = 6
3x = 9 <--- I got rid of the -3 term by using the inverse of subtraction. Addition.
And I did the same for both sides to keep the equation true.
x = 3 <--- The inverse of multiplication is division.
So, I divided both sides by 3.
So, x is equal to 3.
Answer:
p = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
8(8p + 8) = 640
use the dist property
64p + 64 = 640
<u> -64 -64</u>
64p = 576
divide by 64
p = 9
Convert 1 3/5 to an improper fraction;
-1 × 5 + 3/5 ÷ -2/3
Simplify 1 × 5 to 5
-5 + 3/5 ÷ -2/3
Simplify 5 + 3 to 8
-8/5 ÷ -2/3
Use this rule: a ÷ b/c = a × c/b
-8/5 × 3/-2
Use this rule; a/b × c/d = ac/bd
-8 × 3/5 × - 2
Simplify 8 × 3 to 24
-24/5 × -2
Simplify 5 × -2 to -10
- 24/-10
Move the negative sing to the left
-(-24/10)
Simplify 24/10 to 12/5
-(-12/5)
Simplify brackets
12/5
Convert to a mixed fraction
<u>= 2 2/5</u>
