Answer:

Divide by 3 on both sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

Original Expression: 3(x+2) = 12

Divide by 3 on both sides: x+2 = 4

Subtract 2 from both sides: x=2

Let me know if this helps!

Given m<br> n, find the value of x and y<br> m<br> (7x+18)<br> (5x-6)<br> (3y+11)<br> n
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

7x + 18 + 5x - 6 = 180 \\ 12x + 12 = 180 \\ 12x = 180 - 12 = 168 \\ x = 168 \div 12 =14 \\ 3y + 11 = 7x + 18 = 7 \times 14 + 18 \\ 3y + 11 = 98 + 18 = 116 \\ 3y = 116 - 11 = 105 \\ y = 105 \div 3 = 35

2/3 -4x + 7/2 = -9x + 5/6
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-steplanation:

Add: 1

2

+ 2

5

= 1 · 5

2 · 5

+ 2 · 2

5 · 2

= 5

10

+ 4

10

= 5 + 4

10

= 9

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(2, 5) = 10. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 2 × 5 = 10. In the next intermediate step the fraction result cannot be further simplified by cancelling.

In words - one half plus two fifths = nine tenths.

Conversion a mixed number 6 2

7

to a improper fraction: 6 2/7 = 6 2

7

= 6 · 7 + 2

7

= 42 + 2

7

= 44

7

To find new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 6 by the denominator 7. Whole number 6 equally 6 * 7

7

= 42

7

b) Add the answer from previous step 42 to the numerator 2. New numerator is 42 + 2 = 44

c) Write previous answer (new numerator 44) over the denominator 7.

Six and two sevenths is forty-four sevenths

Add: the result of step No. 1 + 44

7

= 9

10

+ 44

7

= 9 · 7

10 · 7

+ 44 · 10

7 · 10

= 63

70

+ 440

70

= 63 + 440

70

= 503

70

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(10, 7) = 70. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 10 × 7 = 70. In the next intermediate step the fraction result cannot be further simplified by cancelling.

In words - nine tenths plus forty-four sevenths = five hundred three seventieths.

A boat rental shop rents paddle boats for a fee plus an additional cost per hour. The cost of renting different numbers of hours
mylen [45]
The independent variable is that whose values do not take into account the values of other variables. That is the time in hours for this item. Then, for the dependent variable, the answer would be the cost of renting. The value of the dependent variable is based on the changes done in the values of the independent variable.
