Solve for x. -2(16 - 4x) - 8 = 6(x + 2)

1 answer:

6 0

So...

-2(16-4x)-8=6(x+2)            Multiply
-32+8x-8=6x+12                 Add like terms
-40+8x=6x+12                    Subtract 6x from both sides
-40+2x=12                          Add 40 to both sides
2x=52                                 Divide 2 from both sides
x=26                                   Substitute to check
-2(16-4(26))-8=6((26)+2)   Add and multiply in parenthesis
-2(-88)-8=6(28)                  Multiply
176-8=168                         Subtract
168=168

So x=26

I hope this helps! Have a great day!

How do you find the area of a triangle when given only the lengths of three sides?

SashulF [63]

Answer:

Use Heron's formula; see below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Heron's formula.

Let the sides of the triangle have lengths a, b, and c.

$s = \dfrac{a + b + c}{2}$

$area = \sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)}$

Example:

A triangle has side lengths 3, 4, and 5 units.

Find the area of the triangle.

$s = \dfrac{a + b + c}{2}$

$s = \dfrac{3 + 4 + 5}{2}$

$s = 6$

$area = \sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)}$

$area = \sqrt{6(6 - 3)(6 - 4)(6 - 5)}$

$area = \sqrt{6(3)(2)(1)}$

$area = \sqrt{36}$

$area = 6$

Suppose the circumference of a circle is 4, pi. What is its diameter?

Vilka [71]

Your answer would be 4, because the equation for the circumference of a circle is π × diameter, so if you have 4 × π as the circumference, then 4 is the diameter.

I hope this helps!

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

$2x^{2}$ is a monomial (since it is all connected by multiplication) and since it is in the degree of 2, that makes it a quadratic.

-2 is a constant (since it doesn't have variables) and it is a monomial (since it is all connected by multiplication)

3x-9 is a binomial (since it has two terms, not connected by multiplication) and since it has x in the power of 1, that makes it a linear equation.

Finally, $-3x^{2}$ -6x + 9 is a trinomial (since it has 3 terms connected by either addition or subtraction) and since the degree of the polynomial is 2, that makes it a quadratic.
