So first, you have to remember the order of operations. That means that whatever is in the parentheses is what has to be done first
However, because one of the numbers in the parentheses is a variable and the other isn't, we can distribute instead
Therefore, 3(12+4x) distributes by multiplying the 3 into both numbers in the parentheses. So we get 36+12x
Now the equation is 20=8+36+12x
Now, bring all numbers without variables on the left side
20-8-36=8-8+36-36+12x
20-8-36=12x
Now simplify
20-8-36=12x
12-36=12x
-24=12x
Divide both sides by 12, and you get x=-2
Hope this helped!!! :D
Answer: B seems to be the correct one
Answer:
x = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi,
To begin, distribute the 2 to the x and -9.
So...
2 ( x - 9 ) = 10
2x - 18 = 10
2x = 28
x = 14
I hope this helps :)
I can't tell the numbers apart as there are no colours so I did one answer a with them all being one digit numbers and another answer as them being 2 digit numbers...
1 digit:
5 + 4 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 2 +1 = 20
20 ÷ 7 = 2.86
2 digit:
54 + 33 + 22 + 1 = 110
110 ÷ 5 = 22
