Answer:

Firstly, rewrite the equation:

⅓ (18 + 27) = 81

Substitute x for the given number of it's supposed equivalent.

In this case x = 12.

⅓ (18(12) + 27) = 81

Solve using PEMDAS and simplify what is in the parenthesis first. Then, multiply.

(18 x 12) + 27 = 243

Now, solving using PEMDAS, multiply the total of what you got that was originally in the parenthesis by ⅓ .

⅓ (243) = 81

When you multiple these number they are equivalent to 81.

81 = 81

Since the equation given, when substituted x for 12, is equivalent to 81, this proves that substituting x for 12 makes this equation true.

-5x + 4 = 2x + 16<br> How do I solve this
Cloud [144]
Subtract 2x from both sides then you’d have -7x+4=16 Then you subtract 4 from both sides and you’d get -7x=12. Next you divide both side by -7 so x=1.75 rounded to the nearest hundredth.

You roll a 6-sided die with faces numbered 1 through 6, and toss a coin. What is the probability of rolling a 2 or getting heads
valentina_108 [34]
That sounds like an extremely misleading question to me but it would be A since theres a 1/6 chance of getting a 2 on a die and there isnt a 1/2 in the answers so it is A
