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!

PLEASE HELP ME I REALLY NEED HELP PLEASEEEE If a circle has an area of 12πcm² and a diameter line AB, what is the length of arc
Softa [21]

Answer:

"Let's say it is equal to 45 degrees, or π/4. Calculate the arc length according to the formula above: L = r * Θ = 15 * π/4 = 11.78 cm . Calculate the area of a sector: A = r² * Θ / 2 = 15² * π/4 / 2 = 88.36 cm² . You can also use the arc length calculator to find the central angle or the radius of the circle. "

The dimensions of a box that is a rectangular prism are 3 inches, 4 inches, and 6 inches. What is the length of the diagonal fro
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

7.8 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

- The dimension of rectangular prism:

                                   (3 x 4 x 6) inches

Find:-

What is the length of the diagonal from the point R to point S, to the nearest tenth of an inch?

Solution:-

- We will set up an origin with coordinates ( 0 , 0 , 0 ) at point R. Then the coordinates of point S would be ( 3 , 4 , 6 ).

- Then we will use the distance between two points formula in cartesian coordinate system:

                    Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2 + (z_1 - z_2)^2}

Where the coordinates of two points ( x1 , y1 , z1 ) & ( x2 , y2 , z2 ).

- Using R( 0 , 0 , 0 ) & S( 3 , 4 , 6 ), the distance |RS| would be:

                   |RS| = \sqrt{(0 - 3)^2 + (0 - 4)^2 + (0 - 6)^2}\\\\|RS| = \sqrt{ 9 + 16 + 36}\\\\|RS| = \sqrt{61} = 7.81024

- The distance |RS| to nearest 10th of an inch is = 7.8 in

Someone Please help me
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

y= -2x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope find 2 points and use "rise/run", that will get -2

To find the y-intercept look at where the line crosses the y-axis. that will be 4

so -2x+4

A swimming pool measures 35 feet wide by 50 feet long. What is the ratio of the length to the perimeter in simplest form? Perime
9966 [12]
So, let’s find out the numbers needed to form the ratio. The length of the swimming pool is 50 ft long. We need to find the perimeter. 2(50+35)
2*85
170.
So, the perimeter is 170 ft. Now we need to form the ratio. Length is first, then the perimeter.
50:170 is your ratio, but we can simplify it to 5:17. Hope this helped!
