Hello there!
The correct answer is C
-----------------------------
x - 3x = 2(4 + x)
Distribute the right side
x - 3x = (2)(4)+(2)(x)
x - 3x = 8 + 2x
Combine like terms
x - 3x - 2x = 8
-4x = 8
Divide both sides by -4
-4x/4 = 8/4
x = -2
Hence,
The correct answer is c
Have a nice day!
Both variables (x) are 3.
4×3=12
12-2=10
16×3=48
48-8=40
3 fits the variable of the missing number.
Answer: 20 pieces, 72 inches of ribbon
Step-by-step explanation: 6/1.5=4 4x5=20 6x12= 72 inches
We need Pythagoras theorem here
a^2+b^2 = c^2
a, b = legs of a right-triangle
c = length of hypotenuse
Let S=shorter leg, in cm, then longer leg=S+2 cm
use Pythagoras theorem
S^2+(S+2)^2 = (10 cm)^2
expand (S+2)^2
S^2 + S^2+4S+4 = 100 cm^2 [collect terms and isolate]
2S^2+4S = 100-4 = 96 cm^2
simplify and form standard form of quadratic
S^2+2S-48=0
Solve by factoring
(S+8)(S-6) = 0 means (S+8)=0, S=-8
or (S-6)=0, S=6
Reject nengative root, so
Shorter leg = 6 cm
Longer leg = 6+2 cm = 8 cm
Hypotenuse (given) = 10 cm
Answer:31/30
Step-by-step explanation:
11/15+3/10
find common denominator=30
11/15 times 2/2
22/30
3/10 times 3/3
9/30
22/30+9/30=31/30
