Answer: x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
-4(-6x + 3) = 12
Reorder the terms:
-4(3 + -6x) = 12
(3 * -4 + -6x * -4) = 12
(-12 + 24x) = 12
Solving
-12 + 24x = 12
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '12' to each side of the equation.
-12 + 12 + 24x = 12 + 12
Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0
0 + 24x = 12 + 12
24x = 12 + 12
Combine like terms: 12 + 12 = 24
24x = 24
Divide each side by '24'.
x = 1
Simplifying
x = 1
Answer:
Mr body took 9 blue pills
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of pills consumed = 17
Number of blue pills, b = 11
Number of blue pills, b = g + 3
So that,
b = g + 3
11 = g + 3
g = 8
Total number of pills recommended = b + g
= 11 + 8
= 19
Total number of pills consumed = 17
Thus,
Number of blue pills consumed = 17 - 8
= 9
Therefore, Mr body took 9 blue pills.
The least common denominator of 12, 8, and 36 is 72.
