Answer:

2x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute numbers inside parentheses

2x + 3x -6 -3x + 18

add x values together and integers together

2x + 3x -3x = 2x

-6 + 18 = 10

simplified to 2x + 12

Answer:

2x+12

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3(x−2)−3(x−6)

Distribute:

=2x+(3)(x)+(3)(−2)+(−3)(x)+(−3)(−6)

=2x+3x+−6+−3x+18

Combine Like Terms:

=2x+3x+−6+−3x+18

=(2x+3x+−3x)+(−6+18)

=2x+12

Answer:

=2x+12

Bruce has a bottle that contains 60% of lemon juice and the rest water. The bottle has 1 liter of water. PART A: Write an equati

Lelechka [254]

Part A:
there is 60% of lemon juice in a 1 liter of water
so 60% *OF* the 1 liter
( of technically means * in mathematics)
so
60% * 1 liter
or 0.6 * 1 liter
Now to find the total number of liters of lemon juice and water in the bottle
(0.6*1)+x= 1
(x being the amount of water)

Part B: We can calculate the number of liters of lemon juice that are present in the bottle
60% * 1
0.6 * 1
that is 0.6
So there is 0.6 liters of lemon juice in the bottle

Hope this helps :)

Garrett is building a slide for his kids. If the ladder is 1 meter tall and he wants the bottom of the slide to be 4 meters from

TEA [102]

The slide needs to be 4.123 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Length for the ladder- 1 mtr

Distance of the bottom of the slide from the ladder- 4 mtr

Length of the slide needed

We can view the whole set up in the form of a right-angled triangle with the base representing the slide distance from the ladder, ladder length representing altitude and slide length representing as hypotenuse (As provided in the diagram)

For right-angled triangle we know from Pythagoras theorem-

Base² + altitude²= hypotenuse ²

Substituting the values of base as 4 mtr and altitude as 1 m

(Hypotenuse)²= 17

∴ Hypotenuse (slide length) =4.123 mtr

∴ Length of the slide needed= 4.123 meters
