Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x + 2) = 3*x + 3*2
= 3x + 6
You mean 2x3x12? if yes, it is 72.
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
4(5x - 2) = 72
Do the distributive property
20x - 8 = 72
Then add 8 to both sides to get 20x alone
20x - 8 = 72
+ 8 + 8
20x = 80
Then divide both sides by 20 to get x
x = 4
Z = 3 (This equation is a given)
z(y) = 12 ( This equation is also given)
3y = 12 (as z = 3, plug 3 into z)
3y/3 = 12/3 (isolate the y by dividing 3 to both sides)
* you divide 3 to both sides because of the equal sign. What you do to one side you do to the other
y = 4 (answer for y)
y + 5 (what you are solving for)
(4) + 5 = 9 (As y = 4, plug in 4 for y in this equation)
y + 5 = 9 (4 + 5 = 9, or addition property)
9 is your answer
hope this helps
