An equation is shown below. 12 – 6(w – 3) = 3(– 5 – 3w) + 21 Enter the solution of w for this equation.

1 answer:

5 0

Simplifying
12 + -6(w + -3) = 3(-5 + -3w) + 21

Reorder the terms:
12 + -6(-3 + w) = 3(-5 + -3w) + 21
12 + (-3 * -6 + w * -6) = 3(-5 + -3w) + 21
12 + (18 + -6w) = 3(-5 + -3w) + 21

Combine like terms: 12 + 18 = 30
30 + -6w = 3(-5 + -3w) + 21
30 + -6w = (-5 * 3 + -3w * 3) + 21
30 + -6w = (-15 + -9w) + 21

Reorder the terms:
30 + -6w = -15 + 21 + -9w

Combine like terms: -15 + 21 = 6
30 + -6w = 6 + -9w

Solving
30 + -6w = 6 + -9w

Solving for variable 'w'.

Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '9w' to each side of the equation.
30 + -6w + 9w = 6 + -9w + 9w

Combine like terms: -6w + 9w = 3w
30 + 3w = 6 + -9w + 9w

Combine like terms: -9w + 9w = 0
30 + 3w = 6 + 0
30 + 3w = 6

Add '-30' to each side of the equation.
30 + -30 + 3w = 6 + -30

Combine like terms: 30 + -30 = 0
0 + 3w = 6 + -30
3w = 6 + -30

Combine like terms: 6 + -30 = -24
3w = -24

Divide each side by '3'.
w = -8

Simplifying
w = -8

Find the value of X. Write your answer in simplest form. What does X equal?

drek231 [11]

Given:

Given that the figure of similar triangles.

The altitude of the triangle is x.

The length of the left part is 30.

The length of the right part is 15.

We need to determine the value of x.

Value of x:

The value of x can be determined using the geometric mean theorem.

Thus, we have;

$\frac{\text { left }}{\text { altitude }}=\frac{\text { altitude }}{\text { right }}$

Substituting the values, we have;

$\frac{30}{x}=\frac{x}{15}$

Cross multiplying, we get;

$30 \times 15= x^2$

$450=x^2$

Taking square root on both sides, we have;

$15 \sqrt{2}=x$

Thus, the value of x is 15√2

if a scientist gets unexpected results during the first trail of an experiment what should he or she do next

Tasya [4]

If they get unexpected results they could note what they could've done wrong or what they could change in a next trail of experiments. Or look back and see what different happened to they could've hypothesized. There could be many different courses on what to do next.

Iliana was part of a group that was working on changing 0.4 repeated to a fraction. Each member of the group had a different ans

amm1812

$\bf 0.444444444\overline{4}\impliedby \textit{and keeps on going}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{let's say }\boxed{x=0.444444444\overline{4}}\quad \textit{ thus }10\cdot x=4.44444444\overline{4}
\\\\\\
\textit{wait a minute! }4.44444444\overline{4}\textit{ is really just }4+0.444444444\overline{4}$

$\bf \textit{but we know }x=0.444444444\overline{4} \textit{ so then }4+0.444444444\overline{4}=\boxed{4+x}
\\\\\\
\textit{wait a second! }10\cdot x\implies 10x=4.444444444\overline{4}=4+x
\\\\\\
thus\qquad 10x=4+x\implies 10x-x=4\implies 9x=4\implies \boxed{x=\cfrac{4}{9}}$

you can check in your calculator.

anyhow, to get the "recurring decimal to fraction", you start by setting to some variable, "x" in this case, then move the repeating part to the left of the point by multiplying it by some power of 10, and then do the equating.

If x+y= = 12 and x = 2y, then x = O 2 06 08 10

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

2y + y = 12

3y = 12

y = 4

now , x = 2y

x = 2 ( 4 )

x = 8

hope that helps ✌
