Answer:

There is no solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) DIstribute 2(x - 3), you should receive 2x - 6.

2) Set 2x - 6 equal to 2x + 3, so (2x - 6 = 2x + 3).

3) Add 6 to both sides (inverse of -6), which cancels the negative 6 (-6) on the left out, and causes the positive 3 (+3) on the right side to become positive 9 (+9).

4) Subtract 2x from both sides (inverse of 2x), which causes both of the 2x's to cancel out.

5) The equation becomes 0 = 9 which is not correct, and false.

The result is that there is no solution to this equation.

Three freinds each have some ribbon. carol has 42 inches of ribbon, tino has 2.5 feet of ribbon, and baxter has 1.5 yards of rib
s344n2d4d5 [400]
Hi there! 3 feet = 1 yard, 12 inches = 1 foot and 36 inches = 1 yard. All we have to do is change them up into different units by doing a bit of multiplication, division, maybe mental math, and even proportions if you know how to do them. Regardless on what you do, if you do it correctly, here are what your answers should be for each unit.


Inches

Carol: 42 inches
Tino: 30 inches
Baxter: 54 inches

Feet:

Carol: 3.5 feet
Tino: 2.5 feet
Baxter: 4.5 feet

Yards:

Carol: 1 1/6 yards
Tino: 5/6 yards
Baxter: 1 1/2 yards

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the graphed line?
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the graphed line, you take two points. I have chosen (0, 4) and (8, 0)

The formula of a slope is (y value of second point -y value of first point) divided by (x value of second point -x value of first point):

\frac{0-4}{8-0} =-\frac{1}{2}

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The slope for a perpendicular line is 2.

How to solve equations with the substitution method
Paul [167]

Answer:

In a system, the substitution method is one of the 3 main ways to solve a system and can be very efficient at times.

<u>Skills needed: Systems, Algebra</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Let's say we are given two equations below:

  y=4x \\ 4x-5y=-32

  We can use substitution here by substituting in for y in the second equation.   This means we put in 4x for y in the 2nd equation so we only have x variables in the equation, allowing us to solve for x.

2) Solving it out:

1) 4x-5(4x)=-32 \\ 2) 4x-20x=-32 \\3) -16x=-32 \\4)x=2\\5)y=4x = 4(2) = 8 \\ 6)y=8

We essentially substitute in that value as seen in step 1. Steps 2 and 3 are just simplifying the left side and allowing for us to solve. Step 4 is where we divide by -16 on both sides to solve for x. Step 5 and 6 show us solving for y using the value for x. We get x=2,y=8
