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
Answer: To get 24
Step-by-step explanation
What you would need to do is first multiply 12 x 5 would come out as 60.
Then from 60 you subtract 17 and 12 to get 5. Divide by the 5 that you just got from 17 and 12 and to get 20. Using the 4 add it to the 20 to get 24.
Answer:
i think it would be 55
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The number of checkers is 12.
The number of red is 5/6 times of 12.
Multiply 5/6 and 12 to find the number of red.
Hence there are 10 red in checkers.
2 5/12 because it is an improper fraction
