CLEAR CHECK

Multiplying by 3 isolates x on one side of the equation.


3 is a factor of 12.


The same thing was done to both sides of the equation.


Multiplying by 3 is easier than subtracting 12.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's think about how we can solve for ttt in the following equation:

\qquad 6t = 546t=546, t, equals, 54

We want to get ttt by itself on the left hand side of the equation. So, what can we do to undo multiplying by 6?

We should divide by 6 because the inverse operation of multiplication is division!

Here's how dividing by 6 on each side looks:

\begin{aligned} 6t &= 54 \\\\ \dfrac{6t}{\blueD{6}} &= \dfrac{54}{\blueD{ 6}}~~~~~~~~~~\small\gray{\text{Divide each side by six.}} \\\\ t &= \greenD{9}~~~~~~~~~~\small\gray{\text{Simplify.}} \end{aligned}6t66tt=54=654          Divide each side by six.=9          Simplify.

Let's check our work.

It's always a good idea to check our solution in the original equation to make sure we didn't make any mistakes:

\qquad \begin{aligned} 6t &= 54 \\ 6 \cdot \greenD9 &\stackrel{\large?}{=} 54\\ 54 &= 54 \end{aligned}6t6⋅954=54=?54=54

Yes, t = \greenD{9}t=9t, equals, start color #1fab54, 9, end color #1fab54 is a solution!

Solving a division equation using inverse operations

Now, let's try to solve a slightly different type of equation:

\qquad \dfrac x5 = 75x=7start fraction, x, divided by, 5, end fraction, equals, 7

We want to get xxx by itself on the left hand side of the equation. So, what can we do to cancel out dividing by 5?

We can multiply by 5 because the inverse operation of division is multiplication!

Here's how multiplying by 5 on each side looks:

\begin{aligned} \dfrac x5 &= 7 \\\\ \dfrac x5 \cdot \blueD{5} &= 7 \cdot \blueD{5}~~~~~~~~~~\small\gray{\text{Multiply each side by five.}} \\\\ x &= \greenD{35}~~~~~~~~~~\small\gray{\text{Simplify.}} \end{aligned}5x5x⋅5x=7=7⋅5          Multiply each side by five.=35          Simplify.

Let's check our work.

\qquad \begin{aligned} \dfrac x5 &= 7 \\\\ \dfrac{\greenD{35}}{5} &\stackrel{\large?}{=} 7\\\\ 7 &= 7 \end{aligned}5x5357

The volume of a cube is 216 cubic meters. What is the length (in meters) of one edge of the cube?


Answers

Answer: 6 meters

Step-by-step explanation: 6 is also what we call a cube root of a number. A cube root is a number you multiply by itself 3 times to get the product.

6 times 6 equals 36. 36 times 6 equals 216.

(6 times 6 times 6 = 216)

Answers

Answer:

162 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

volume = area of base * height

V = 22 1/2 ft^2 * 7 1/5 ft

Change the mixed numerals into fractions.

V = 45/2 ft^2 * 36/5 ft

Multiply the fractions.

V = 45/2 * 36/5 ft^3

Switch the denominators.

V = 45/5 * 36/2 ft^3

Simplify each fraction.

V = 9 * 18 ft^3

V = 162 ft^3

D) x=10

Answers

Solve for x if -10x+67=17 the answer is:
D) x=10

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, you need to subtract 67 from 17 to get the variable alone.

That will leave you with -10x=-50

Then you need to divide -10 and -50,

Two negatives make a positive so

Which equation represents the line that passes through the point (-3, 2) and has a slope of 2?
O y = 2x + 1
O
y = 2x - 4
O y = 2x - 7
y = 2x + 8

Answers

Answer:

y = 2x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the line, use the equation y = mx + b.

Plug in the slope and given point, then solve for b:

y = mx + b

2 = 2(-3) + b

2 = -6 + b

8 = b

Plug in the slope and b into the equation:

y = 2x + 8

So, the equation of the line is y = 2x + 8

The letters in the word JANUARY were put in a bag and drawn randomly. What is the probability of picking an a?

Answers

Answer: 2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 7 letters in January, and 2 "a"s in order to find the probability, simply take 2/7. You can either leave it in the fraction form, or use the calculator, showing you have a 0.2857% chance of picking an "a"

2/7

there are 7 letters in jAnuAry and as you can see there are 2 A's so there is a 2/7 chance which is higher of a chance than the rest of the letters which are 1/7 each so it is most likely you would draw A although I can't fully say that because there is a 5/7 chance of drawing the other letters. Another way to say it is there is a 0.28571428571% chance of drawing A but there is a 0.71428571428% chance of drawing any other letter.

Answer:

y - 2x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the point-slope formula y - k = m(x - h), with h = 0, k = 3 and m = 2:

y - 3 = 2(x - 0), or

y - 3 = 2x, or

y - 2x = 3

Note that the given point, (0, 3), is the y-intercept of this line, and so we immediately know b in y = mx + b:  it is 3.

Answers

Answers:

a = 7xb = 3

==========================================================

Explanation:

Match up (7x+3)(7x-3) with (a+b)(a-b)

We have

(7x+3) pair up with (a+b)(7x-3) pair up with (a-b)

We can see that a = 7x and b = 3

Furthermore, we can say,

(a+b)(a-b) = a^2 - b^2

(7x+3)(7x-3) = (7x)^2 - (3)^2

(7x+3)(7x-3) = 49x^2 - 9

The values of a and b are 7x and 3 respectively

(7x+3) (7x−3)

Using the format

Factorisation

(a + b)(a − b) = a² − b²

Therefore,

a = 7x

b = 3

Therefore,

From (a + b)(a − b) = a² − b²

(7x+3) (7x−3) = (7x)² - 3²

(7x+3) (7x−3) = 49x² - 9
