Answer:
-8
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that the in parentheses is what we are supposed to change (3)..We would replace the three with the negative two this means that we will solve for four times -2 which equals -8.Hope this helps!
Answer:
x = -7/9
Step-by-step explanation:
The usual recommendation is to clear fractions first. Here, you can do that by multiplying both sides of the equation by 6.
6(-1/2(3x -4) +3x) = 6(5/6)
-9x +12 +18x = 5 . . . . . . . . . simplify
9x = -7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 12
x = -7/9 . . . . . .divide by 9

Another way to do this is to eliminate parentheses first.
-3/2x +2 +3x = 5/6
3/2x = -7/6 . . . . . . . . . collect terms, subtract 2
x = (-7/6)(2/3) = -7/9 . . . . multiply by 2/3
Answer: 5
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
12^2 + x^2 = 13^2
144 + x^2 = 169
x^2 = 25
square root both sides
x = 5
to check, do 12^2 + 5^2 =169
sqrt of 169 is 13
hope this helps
