Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf B. \ 4}}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following equation.

3(x-2)=6

We are solving for x, so we must isolate the variable using the inverse operation.

(x-2) is being multiplied by 3. The inverse operation of multiplication is division, so we divide both sides of the equation by 3.

\frac {3(x-2)}{3}= \frac{6}{3}

(x-2)= \frac{6}{3}

(x-2)= 2

2 is being subtracted from x. The inverse operation of subtraction is addition, so we add 2 to both sides of the equation.

(x-2)+2= 2+2

x=2+2

x=4

Check the answer by plugging 4 in for x in the original equation.

3(x-2)= 6

3(4-2)= 6

3(2)= 6

6=6

This checks out, so we know our answer is correct. x is equal to 4 and choice B is correct.

Adam leaves school at 4 p.m. and walks home at a constant pace of three mph. Amy leaves school thirty minutes later, but she bro
madam [21]

Answer:

10 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Adam- 3 mph = 20 minutes a mile

Amy- 12 mph = 5 minutes a mile

Adam left 30 minutes prior to Amy so he is a mile and a half ahead before amy even starts.

30 minutes = 1.5 miles (Adam)

7.5 minutes = 1.5 miles (Amy)

but with this being said you have to continue to add time and miles to Adam because he's now gone an extra 7.5 minutes too.

45 minutes = 2.25 miles

15 minues = 3 miles

no youre too far and Amy is now further so we have to go back some

40 minutes = 2 miles

10 minutes = 2 miles

With all this being said Amy only needs to ride her bike for 10 minutes before she catches back up to Adam

A company is looking to hire a lawyer. One law rm states that their legal fees can be determined using the
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

100 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Law firm A = 350x + 22,000,

Law firm B = 410x+16,000

Where,

x = number of hours of legal assistance

What number of hours of legal assistance makes the equation 350x+22,000 = 410x+16,000 true?

Equate the legal fees of the two law firms

350x + 22,000 = 410x + 16,000

Collect like terms

350x - 410x = 16,000 - 22,000

-60x = -6,000

Divide both sides by -60

x = -6,000 / -60

= 100

x = 100 hours

The number of hours of legal assistance makes the equation true is 100 hours
