Answer:
-3x - 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the distributive property.
-3(x + 6) = (-3)(x) + (-3)(6) = -3x - 18
74% is greater than 11/15
The answer to a "sum and difference" problem is that the larger number is the average of those given: (43 +15)/2 = 29.
The smaller number can be computed any of several ways, but subtracting the difference works: 29 -15 = 14
The larger number is 29.
The smaller number is 14.
_____
You can let the numbers be a and b, and let the sum and difference be s and d. Then you have
.. a + b = s
.. a - b = d
Add these two equations, and you find "b" is eliminated:
.. 2a = s + d
.. a = (s + d)/2 . . . . . . the average of the sum and difference
.. b = a - d . . . . . . . . . from the second equation
This solution is generic. Even if you have to "show work" on such a problem, you can use this known result to check your work.
Answer:
<h2>C
. 7 units</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is lacking appropriate diagram. Find the diagram to the question attached.
From the diagram, it can be seen that AD = AB+BC+CD
Given the following
AD = 23units
AB = 4units
CD = 12units
To get C=BC, we will substitute the given segments into the expression above as shown;
23 = 4+BC+12
23 = BC + 4 + 12
23 = BC+16
Subtract 16 from both sides
23-16 = BC+16-16
7 = BC
<em></em>
<em>Hence the length of segment BC is 7units.</em>
