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:A
Step-by-step explanation: Add the 1s first, you get 3, then add 3/8 and 5/8 and you Get 1. 3 +1 is 4 plus the remainder of 1/8
Answer:
8, 16, 64
Step-by-step explanation:
8 = 2^3 . . . a perfect cube
16 = 4^2 . . . a perfect square
32 = 2^5 . . . neither a cube nor a square
64 = 2^6 = 4^3 = 8^2 . . . both a perfect cube and a perfect square
128 = 2^7 . . . neither a cube nor a square
5.00 is the answer! It is very close to 5 therefore it would immediately go to 5!
