Answer: The number is: "2 " .

__________________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

__________________________________________

Write the expression; which is an equation, as follows:

__________________________________________

" 4x − 12 = 2(-x) " ; in which "x" represents "the number for which we shall solve" .

___________________________________________

Note:

If the "number" = "x" ; the "opposite of the number" = " -x " ;

___________________________________________

Rewrite as: " 4x − 12 = -2x " ;

_____________________________________________

→ Add "12" ; & add "2x" ; to EACH SIDE of the equation:

4x − 12 + 12 + 2x = -2x + 12 + 2x ;

to get: 6x = 12 ;

____________________________________________________

Now, divide each side of the equation by "6" ;

to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;

____________________________________________________

6x / 6 = 12 / 6 ;

to get: x = 2 .

____________________________________________________

Answer: The number is: "2 " .

____________________________________________________

Let us check our answer, by plugging in "2" for "x" in our original equation:

_____________________________________________________

→ " 4x − 12 = 2(-x) " ;

Let us plug in "2" for "x" ; to see if the equation holds true; that is; if both side of the equation are equal; when "x = 2" ;

→ " 4(2) − 12 = ? 2(-2) ??

→ 8 − 12 = ? -4 ? ;

→ -4 = ? -4 ?? Yes!

Step-by-step explanation:

product of 4 and a number f: 4 × f or 4f
decreases by 2: - 2
is 15: = 15

Therefore, the answer is 4f - 2 = 15.

Julie and Eric row their boat (at a constant speed) 55 miles downstream for 5 hours, helped by the

Archy [21]

Answer: C = 3 mph is the rate of the current.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

You can use the distance formula (d = rt) to solve this problem.

Downstream trip: d = 55 miles, t = 5 hours, and r = R + C

R + C is their rowing speed (R) plus the rate of the current (C).

Upstream trip: d = 55 miles, t = 11 hours, and r = R - C

R - C is their rowing speed (R) minus the rate of the current (C).

Downstream: 55 mi. = (R + C)5 hrs. Divide both sides by 5: R + C = 11

Upstream: 55 mi. = (R - C)11 hrs. Divide both sides by 11: R - C = 5

Calculations

R + C = 11 Subtract C from both sides.

R = 11 - C Substitute this into: R - C = 5

(11 - C) - C = 5 Simplify and solve for C

11 - 2C = 5 Add 2C to both sides.

11 = 2C + 5 Subtract 5 from both sides.

6 = 2C Divide both sides by 2

C = 3 mph is the rate of the current.

Can you tell de answer?

kodGreya [7K]

Yes, it’s D because you would have want to compare both fractions by making them have the same denominator. Since 60 is the least common denominator for 10 and 12 (the denominators), you would convert the fractions by multiplying the numerator and denominator of 5/10 by 6 to get 60. 5/10 would turn into 30/60. Then you would multiply 6/12 both by 5, and then it would turn into 30/60. Now that you have equal fractions, you can guess that they are the same. Therefore, 30/60=30/60! An easier way of doing it would be just simplifying them into 1/2 and comparing them + seeing that they are both 1/2. Hope this helps!
