Answer:

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying the given equation, you have ...

-6(x -2) +3x = -3(x +3) +21 . . . . . given

-6x +12 +3x = -3x -9 +21 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

-3x +12 = -3x +13 . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

0 = 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . add (3x-12) to both sides

There is no value of x that will make this true.

The equation has NO SOLUTION.

-6(x+2) + 3x = -3(x+3) + 21

-6x - 12 + 3x = -3x - 9 + 21

-3x - 12 = -3x + 12

-3x + 3x = 12 + 12

0 = 24

Sorry but this equation has no solution.
-3x + 3x = 0, x is cancelled out so we can’t find ‘x’.

Answer:

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle in the picture is an isoceles triangle in which the measure of top vertex angle is given and one of the base angles is also given.

According to angle sum property of triangle , sum of measure of all the angles of traingle is 180°. Also, in isosceles triangle , the base angles are always equal to each other .

So,

$34 + (x + 79) + (x + 79) = 180$

$= > 2x + 158 + 34 = 180$

$= > 2x +192 = 180$

$= > 2x = 18 0 - 192 = - 12$

$= > x = \frac{12}{ - 2} = - 6$

Christina says the graph for the inequality r < -5 will be the same as the graph for the inequality -5 > r. Do you agree o

QveST [7]

Answer:

Agree

Step-by-step explanation:

Just copy and paste (without quotations): "I agree because r < -5 is just a flipped inequality of -5 > r. In other words, 'r is less than -5' is the same as '-5 is greater than r'."
