In this problem, you are tasked to find the value of x.
-12 = 3x + 3
This is the same as:
3x + 3 = -12
You have to transpose the 3 to the other side to solve the
equation.
3x = -12 – 3
3x = -15
x = -5
The value of the expression is
-2(2a-4b+3c)
We can form two ratios to help us solve this:
(2x+6):10 = (x+6):8
(2x+6) (x+6)
--------- = --------
10 8
Cross multiply:
8(2x+6) = 10(x+6)
Foil:
16x + 48 = 10x + 60
Move like variables to the same side:
16x - 10x = 60 - 48
6x = 12
x = 2
Line AE = 2x+6
Plug 2 for x into the equation: 2(2) + 6 = 10
Hope this helps, and May the Force Be With You!

Answer:
a. The value of the constant k is 21
b. The equation is y = k * x, where k is the proportionality constant, "x" is the number of terraced houses and "y" is the width of a row of identical houses.
Step-by-step explanation:
a.
<em>A proportional relationship satisfies the equation y = k * x, where k is a positive constant and is called a proportionality constant. In this case "x" is the number of terraced houses and "y" is the width of a row of identical houses.
</em>
The data you have is that the width of 5 townhouses are 105 feet. This means that the value of "x" is 5 houses and the value of "y" is 105 feet. By replacing in the equation y = k * x and isolating the constant k, you get:
<em>105=k*5
</em>
<em>k=21
</em>
<u><em>So the value of the constant k is 21.</em></u>
b.
<em>As mentioned, the equation is y = k * x, where k is the proportionality constant, "x" is the number of terraced houses and "y" is the width of a row of identical houses.</em>
This means that just as "x" increases, "y" increases. And that if "x" decreases, "y" will decrease. And this relationship between "x" e "and" will always be the same, determined by the value of the constant "k".
