Derick solves the problem below.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Gala2k [10]3 years ago
3 0

As it is proved that the equation has no solution, Derick is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

-3(4n + 2) = -4n + -2 (4n - 6)

We have to solve the equation in order to check if Derick was solved the equation correctly or not.

So,

Applying distributive property first

-12n -6 = -4n -8n +12\\-12n-6 = -12n+12\\-12n+12n-6 = 12\\-6 = 12

As the variable is already cancelled in the equation there is no unique solution.

In order for an equation to have infinite solutions the constant on both sides of equation should be same which is not the case in the given equation

So,

As it is proved that the equation has no solution, Derick is correct

REY [17]
So, the area of a circle is a=pi r^2
so do that and get a=pi(4)
and since the circle touches the edge of the rectangle, the rectangle is 4 cm tall, so 4*8 is 32 and pi(4) is about 12.56, so 32-12.56 is 19.44, and I believe that is the answer. (19.4)

What value of X is in the solution set of 8x - 6 > 12 + 2x
Molodets [167]

Answer:

x>3

Step-by-step explanation:

8x-6>12+2x

Subtract 2x from both sides:

6x-6>12

Add 6 to both sides:

6x>18

Divide both sides by 6:

x>3

Hope this helps!
