Answer:

<h3>B. Apply the distributive property to get 4x-12=9</h3>

\boxed{\sf{x=\dfrac{21}{4}=5.25 }}

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the term of x from one side of the equation.

Use the distributive property.

<u>Distributive property:</u>

\Longrightarrow: \sf{A(B+C)=AB+AC}

<h3>4(x-3)=9</h3>

<u>Expand the form multiply.</u>

4*x=4x

4*3=12

<u>Rewrite the problem down.</u>

4x-12=9

<u>Add by 12 from both sides.</u>

4x-12+12=9+12

<u>Solve.</u>

<u />

<u>Add the numbers from left to right.</u>

9+12=21

4x=21

Divide by 4 from both sides.

4x/4=21/4

<u>Solve.</u>

<u>Divide the numbers from left to right.</u>

x=21/4

21/4=5.25

<u>x=21/4=5.25</u>

  • <u>Therefore, the final answer is x=21/4=5.25.</u>

I hope this helps you! Let me know if my answer is wrong or not.

What is the midpoint of a line segment with the endpoints (-4, -3) and (7, -5)
Katyanochek1 [597]
Midpoint Formula: (\frac{x+x}{2},\frac{y+y}{2})
Midpoint = (\frac {-4+7}{2},\frac {-3-5}{2})
Midpoint = (\frac {3}{2},\frac {-8}{2})
Midpoint = (\frac {3}{2}, -4)
So, the midpoint of the endpoints (-4,-3) and (7,-5) is (\frac {3}{2}, -4).

Katie has a coin collection she keeps 7 of the coing in the box which is only 14% of her entire collection. What is the total nu
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

x= 50

Step-by-step explanation:

7/x = 14/100

14x = 700

x = 50

the reason behind my calculations were to get the same ratios and because they gave us percentage and the actual number, we can set them; 14 percent 14/100, however, the 7/x is because we don't know the 100 percent of the coins which is what we look for. Therefore, you cross multiply and get x.

I hope this helped

Find the value of x in a triangle . If the hypotenuse of the triangle is 10 , the opposite is x+2 and the adjacent is x.​
Sauron [17]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides , that is

x² + (x + 2)² = 10² ← expand parenthesis on left side and simplify

x² + x² + 4x + 4 = 100 ( subtract 100 from both sides )

2x² + 4x - 96 = 0 ( divide through by 2 )

x² + 2x - 48 = 0

(x + 8)(x - 6) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 8 = 0 ⇒ x = - 8

x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6

however, x > 0 , then x = 6
