Answer:
x=18
Step-by-step explanation:
the result of 12 added to the difference of half a number and 3 is 45.
that looks something like this
which can be solved as such
Or you can do the easy way
convert to slope intercept
y=mx+b
m=slope
get 1y all by itself
8x-4y=8
minus 8x both sides
-4y=-8x+8
divide both sides by -4
y=2x-2
y=mx+b
slope is 2
the hack way is
for an equatoin in standard form
ax+by=c
slope=-a/b
slope=2
if you want to graph 2 points and do it the long way, here it is
if x=0, y=-2
if y=0, x=1
(0,-2) and (1,0)
slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
slope=(0-(-2))/(1-0)=2/1=2
slope is 2
LCM stands for least common multiple. We are being asked to find the lowest multiple that 6 and 15 have in common.
Multiples of a number (n) are integers that are the product of n and another number. Let's list the multiples of both 6 and 15:
6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36
15: 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90
The LCM of 6 and 15 is 30.
The answer to the question is d
