Answer:

2x - 30

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to subtract 3x + 18 from 5x - 12:

=> 5x - 12 - ( 3x + 18) = 5x - 12 - 3x - 18 = 5x - 3x - 12 - 18 = 2x - 30

The first step was to apply distributive properties to get rid of the parenthesis, after that the terms were arranged and the like terms combined

Answer = 2x - 30

The sum of two numbers is 27. The larger number is 6 more than twice the smaller number. What are the numbers?
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Let the smaller number be x

Then the sum is

(6 + 2x) + x = 27

We now find for x

2x + x + 6 = 27

3x + 6 = 27

3x = 27-6

3x = 21

x = 21/3

x = 7

Therefore the smaller number is 7

The larger number is (2×7) + 6 = 20

The figure shown to the right is an isosceles triangle, and
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

We know that an isosceles triangle has 2 of its sides being equal

With R, being the midpoint of PS, we can say that

PR=RS

Noting that, with R as midpoint, we can conclude that RT is a straight line which divides angles TPR and TSR into 2 right angle triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

therefore angle at P is 45°. Angle at S also 45°

Therefore PT = TS

This is because T is 45 degrees as well as P which is also 45 degrees

angle in triangle PTS is 180 degrees

R is 90 degrees, P is 45 degrees and the whole of T is also 45 degrees(which has been split into 2)

Ricardo borrows $1850 for 8 months at 12% interest.
maria [59]

Answer:

Ricardo will have to pay $1776 at the end of the loan period.

I know this because if you multiply 12% to 1850 you get 222.

Now you multiply 222 to 8 which gives you an answer of 1776.

Hope this helps. :)
