Answer:

You need to simplify 0.3(12x + -16) = 0.4(12 + -3x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Reorder the terms:

0.3(-16 + 12x) = 0.4(12 + -3x) (-16 * 0.3 + 12x * 0.3) = 0.4(12 + -3x) (-4.8 + 3.6x) = 0.4(12 + -3x) -4.8 + 3.6x = (12 * 0.4 + -3x * 0.4) -4.8 + 3.6x = (4.8 + -1.2x)

Solving -4.8 + 3.6x = 4.8 + -1.2x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '1.2x' to each side of the equation. -4.8 + 3.6x + 1.2x = 4.8 + -1.2x + 1.2x

Combine like terms: 3.6x + 1.2x = 4.8x -4.8 + 4.8x = 4.8 + -1.2x + 1.2x

Combine like terms: -1.2x + 1.2x = 0.0 -4.8 + 4.8x = 4.8 + 0.0 -4.8 + 4.8x = 4.8 Add '4.8' to each side of the equation. -4.8 + 4.8 + 4.8x = 4.8 + 4.8

Combine like terms: -4.8 + 4.8 = 0.0 0.0 + 4.8x = 4.8 + 4.8 4.8x = 4.8 + 4.8

Combine like terms: 4.8 + 4.8 = 9.6 4.8x = 9.6 Divide each side by '4.8'. x = 2

Simplifying x = 2

Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Now since the lines are parrarel, the intersection points are alternate to each other. Therefore, A = B.

Solve:

8x + 2 = 14x - 76

2 + 76 = 6x

78 = 6x

x = 13

16t-2(2t+5)=14 7th grade T=? plz helpppp
Zina [86]
16t -2(2t+5) =14

distribute the parenthesis first:

16t-4t-10 = 14

combine like terms:

12t - 10 = 14

add 10 to both sides:

12t = 24

divide both sides by 12

t = 24/12

t = 2
