Answer:

The answer is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's how I got it:

3(x - 2) = 6x - 12

Multiply 3 times x and 3 times 2, this is what you would get

3x - 6 = 6x - 12

Then, subtract the lowest x with the bigger X, this way you would have x on one side:

3x - 6 = 6x - 12

-3x -3x

This is what you should have after this:

-6 = 3x - 12

Now, to get the variable (letter that represents a number) by itself, you have to add 12 to both sides like this:

-6 = 3x - 12

+12 +12

You would get this:

6 = 3x

Finally, you have to get x by itself, so you have to divide 3 on both sides like this

6/3 = 3/3 x

That's why, your answer is 2

Joshua’s Babe Ruth baseball card is worth 500,000. If the value continues to grow by 2% each year, how much will the card be wor

vazorg [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to find 2% of 500,000 first.

2 x 500,000 = 1,000,000

1,000,000 ÷ 100 = 10,000.

It increases value by 10,000 dollars each year

5 x 10,000 = 50,000.

<em>It will be worth 550,000 dollars in 5 years.</em>

I hope thats answer choice D, sorry if I am wrong.

In a room shaped like an ellipse, something whispered at 1 focus can be clearly heard at the other focus. The U.S. Capitol Natio

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

The listener is approximately 71.414 feet far from the whisperer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We must remember that two fundamental variables for every ellipse are the major semiaxis ( $a$ ) and the minor semiaxis ( $b$ ). The major semiaxis equals a half of the length of the whispering gallery, whereas the minor semiaxis equals a half of the width of the whispering gallery. These are:

$a = 46\,ft$ and $b = 29\,ft$

The distance between both whisperers ( $d$ ), measured in feet, is two times the distance between center and any of the foci ( $c$ ), measured in feet, whose valued is obtained by using this Pythagorean identity:
