Answer:

x = \frac{-4}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x - 4) = 12x

3x - 12 = 12x --->by the distributive property of equality

-9x = 12 ---> subtraction property of equality

x = -9/12 ---> division property of equality

x = -4/3 as simplified

Answer:

x = -\frac{4}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive Property:

3 (x - 4) = 12x

3x - 12 = 12x

Combine like terms and isolate the variable:

3x - 12 = 12x

-12 = 9x

-\frac{4}{3} = x

x = -\frac{4}{3}

Answer:

  6. step 2; terms are improperly combined; it should be -61n-8=-8

  7. no; point (2, 5) is not part of the solution in the left graph

Step-by-step explanation:

6. Step 2 should be ...

  -61n -8 = -8 . . . . . because -5n-56n = -61n, not -51n

__

7. The boundary lines of both graphs go through the point (2, 5). In the left graph, the line is dashed, indicating that points on the line are not part of the solution set. The point (2, 5) on the dashed line is not a solution to that inequality.

The solid boundary line indicates that the points on the line are part of the solution set. The point (2, 5) on the solid line is a solution to that inequality.

The point (2, 5) is not a solution to both inequalities.

Use differentials to estimate the amount of paint needed (in m3) to apply a coat of paint 0.04 cm thick to a hemispherical dome
pogonyaev

The amount of paint is the volume of paint needed.

The amount of paint needed is 0.065312 cubic meters

<h3>How to determine the amount of paint needed</h3>

The volume of a hemisphere is:

V = \frac 23\pi r^3

Differentiate the above equation

V' = 2\pi r^2 r'

The above equation represents the estimate of the amount of paint needed.

Where:

  • r represents the radius (r = 52/2 m)
  • r' represents the thickness (r' = 0.04 cm)

So, we have:

V' = 2\pi r^2 r'

V' = 2 * 3.14 * (52/2\ m)^2 * (0.04cm)

V' = 2 * 3.14 * (26\ m)^2 * (0.04cm)

Express cm as m

V' = 2 * 3.14 * (26\ m)^2 * (0.0004m)

V' = 0.065312 m^3

Hence, the amount of paint needed is 0.065312 cubic meters

Is the difference between a positive mixed number and a negative mixed number always, sometimes, or never positive?
Annette [7]
Ok It depends upon what the order of the terms might be

 

If we consider that the positive mixed number is the first term and the negative mixed number is the second term and we consider "difference" to be subtraction.....then the result is positive

 

For example

(3 + 1/2) -  [ -(1 + 1/2)] =

 

(3 +1/2) + (1 + 1/2) = 5   since subtracting a negative results in a positve

 

But....if we had the reverse order with the same operation, we would have

 

-(1 + 1/2) - (3 + 1/2)   and the result is - 5

 

Hence.......I would go with "sometimes"
