12(3-2x) = 84
do distributive multiplication:
12(3) + 12(-2x) = 84
36 - 24x = 84
Deduct 36 to both sides
36 - 36 - 24x = 84 - 36
-24x = 48
divide -24 to both sides
-24x / -24 = 48/-24
x = -2
To check:
12(3-2x) = 84
12(3-2(-2) = 84
12(3+4) = 84
12(7) = 84
84 = 84
Answer:
9.267
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
m = 1/3, b = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is already written is slope-intercept form, y = m x + b.
<h3>
Answer: Choice D) -6 < -5</h3>
================================================
Explanation:
Let's go through the answer choices
- A) This is false because -2 is actually larger than -5. Make a number line and you'll see that -2 is to the right of -5. Numbers on the right are larger than numbers on the left.
- B) This is also false. The value 0 is smaller than 2. A number line might help show this.
- C) Also false. It should be 4 > -4. Any positive number is always larger than any negative number.
- D) This is true. On a number line, -6 is to the left of -5, so -6 is smaller than -5. This makes -6 < -5 a true statement.
