3x+2 mulitiply by 2. you will get 6x+4 now put 10x-12 like so 6x+4=10x-12. then use like terms and subtract 6x from 10x. you will get 4x-12=4. then add 12 to cancel out then divide 16 by 4 and then x=4 then plug in 4 to replace x in 3x+2.
The answer is 14
FOIL first outer inner last it’s distribution
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Linear Combination Of Vectors
</u>
One vector
is a linear combination of
and
if there are two scalars
such as

In our case, all the vectors are given in
but there are only two possible components for the linear combination. This indicates that only two conditions can be used to determine both scalars, and the other condition must be satisfied once the scalars are found.
We have

We set the equation

Multiplying both scalars by the vectors

Equating each coordinate, we get



Adding the first and the third equations:


Replacing in the first equation



We must test if those values make the second equation become an identity

The second equation complies with the values of
and
, so the solution is

I believe it's a , not sure though
To solve this problem we want to let X equal the amount of points that team A scored. Now we want to express the amount of points that team B scored in terms of X. If team A scored 7 more points than team B then team B scored X-7 points. We know that together they scored 163 points so we can set up this equation: x + x - 7 = 163 2x - 7 = 163 2x = 155 X = 78 Team A scored 78 points
