Answer:

x=53/4 or 4x=53

Step-by-step explanation:

First move the variable to the left-hand side and change its sign.

6x+12-10x=-41 to 6x-10x=-41-12

Then collect the like terms

6x-10x=-41-12 to -4x=-41-12 which equals to -4x=-53

Now you divide both sides of the equation by -4

-4x=-53 to x=53 over 4 then if you want you divide which gives you x=13.25

Second way:

Kind of the same thing as the first one

Move the variable to the left-hand side and change its sign

6x+12=10x-41 to 6x=12-10x=-41

Then you collect the like terms

6x-10x=-41-12 to -4x=-41-12

Now you multiply both sides of the equation by -1

-4x=-53 to 4x=53

Andru [333]

I just took the 16 chairs and added 2 since thats how many are left over, then since adding these 16 chairs, you are creating 2 more rows, so (16+2)/2 =9 Therefore, each row must have nine chairs in it and Hue starts off with 5x9+2= 47 chairs

Answer:

1) 12

2) 72

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The GCF of 36 and 24 is 12. So, each child would get 3 prizes and 2 balloons.

2) The LCM of 18 and 24 is 72. When the first radio station is playing the song for the fourth time, the second radio station will play the song for the third time. This will happen 72 minutes after they both play it for the first time.
