2 times a number, x, is equal to 6 less than 3 times the number, x.
2x = 3x - 6
-1x = -6
x = 6
The number is 6.
This is a system of equations. You can solve it by substitution or elimination. I'm going to use substitution x - 2y = -4.5; add 2y to each side x - 2y + 2y = -4.5 + 2y; simplify x = 2y - 4.5 2(2y - 4.5) + 3y = 12 4y - 9 + 3y = 12 7y - 9 = 12 7y - 9 + 9 = 12 + 9 7y = 21 y = 3 <--------first answer x - 2y = -4.5 x - 2(3) = -4.5 x - 6 = -4.5 x -6 + 6 = -4.5 + 6 x = 1.5 <--------second answer Check: 2(1.5) + 3(3) = 12? 3 + 9 = 12? 12 = 12; It checks 1.5 - 2(3) = -4.5? 1.5 - 6 = -4.5? -4.5 = -4.5; It checks x = 1.5 and y = 3 <-----------Final Answer
When the sides are congruent (same direction and size), and the two opposite sides are parallel, the angles are the same. In an isosceles triangle, two angles are congruent, because two sides are congruent.

Answer:
-40m² +112
Step-by-step explanation:
g(f(6-2m²)) = g(-4(6 -2m²)) = g(8m² -24)
= -5(8m² -24) -8 = -40m² +120 -8
g(f(6-2m²)) = -40m² +112
