Answer:
1/2(2x-6)= -6
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the two sides by the equation 2
2x-6=12
move the constant to the right hand side change sign
2x = -12 + 6
calculate the sum
2x= -6
Divide the 2 sides by 2
x= -3
Answer:
x= 12/11
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets round each distance to the nearest tens place, and then add them up to get an estimate. 143 rounds down to 140, 138 rounds up to 140, and 141 rounds down to 140. So: 140 + 140 + 140 = 420 miles
The value of <em>d</em> is 7.5.
The key to solving equations is doing the inverse, or opposite, function/process.
For example, you subtract when d + 1 = 2:
d + 1 = 2
(d + 1) -1 = (2) - 1
d = 1
In the same way, you add values when you have a negative:
5.5 = -2 + d = d - 2
5.5 = d - 2
(5.5) + 2 = (d - 2) + 2
7.5 = d
Now if instead of adding 2, you subtract 2, the problem becomes:
5.5 = d - 2
(5.5) - 2 = (d - 2) - 2
3.5 = d - 4
This doesn't solve your problem, it just makes the value needed to be canceled out larger.
Thus d = 7.5 and you will add because the value is negative.
