-1(x+2)=2(3x-6)
Please solve

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: -1(x+2)=2(3x-6)
-1(x+2)=2(3x-6)distributhing -1 through parantheses
-1x+(-1)*2=2(3x-6)
-x-2=2(3x-6) distributhing 2 through parantheses
-x-2=2*3x-2*6
-x-2=6x-2*6
-x-2=6x-12    add x 
-2=6x-12+x
-2=7x-12        add 12
-2+12=7x
10=7x       divide by 7  
x= (10)/(7)
Answer : x= 1 3/7


Answer 2
Answer: -1(x + 2) = 2(3x - 6)

First, simplify 1 × (x + 2) to (x + 2) / Your problem should look like: -x - 2 = 2(3x - 6)
Second, expand. / Your problem should look like: -x - 2 = 6x - 12
Third, add x to both sides. / Your problem should look like: -2 = 6x - 12 + x
Fourth, simplify 6x - 12 + x to get 7x - 12. / Your problem should look like: -2 = 7x - 12
Fifth, add 12 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: -2 + 12 = 7x
Sixth, add -2 + 12 to get 10. / Your problem should look like: 10 = 7x
Seventh, divide both sides by 7. / Your problem should look like: (10)/(7)  = x
Eighth, switch your sides. / Your problem should look like: x =  (10)/(7)

Answer: x = (10)/(7)
Answer as decimal: 1.4286

V = lwh
l is given... l = 16
And V is given... V = 144

so...
144 = 16 * w * h

next
divide by 16 on both sides to find the value the w*h equals

then find the possible values of w and h

Step-by-step explanation:

Compare simplifying before multiplying fractions with simplifying after multiplying the fractions

Answers

Answer:

We can compare this using example:

Suppose the two fractions are (20)/(25) and (12)/(36)

When we simplify before multiplying:

(20)/(25) (dividing both numerator and denominator by 5) in simplified form becomes (4)/(5)

Similarly (12)/(36) becomes (1)/(3)

Now multiplying:

(4)/(5) *(1)/(3) = (4)/(15)

When we simplify after multiplying:

(20)/(25) *(12)/(36) = (240)/(900)

Now simplifying this:

Dividing both numerator and denominator by 10; we get

(24)/(90)

Now dividing by 2:

(12)/(45)

Now dividing by 3:

(4)/(15)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, we can see and compare that when we multiply after simplifying, the result is simplified and calculation is easier.

When we do not simplify and multiply at first, the results are bigger numbers and it is difficult to simplify bigger numbers.

We will start using a new way to indicate simplifying fractions. When a numerator or 
a denominator gets simplified, we will cross it out with a slash and write the new 
numerator or denominator next to it (either above it or below it).
The number you divide by (the 4) does not get indicated in any way! You only 
think about it in your mind: “I divide 12 by 4, and get 3. I divide 20 by 4, and get 5.”
You may not see any advantage over the “old” method yet, but this shortcut will 
come in handy soon.

10 coins have a mass of 45 grams. How many grams is one coin?

Answers

We can't tell from the information given.  We don't know how many
different types of coins there are.  All we know is that all 10 of them
on the scale at the same time have 45 grams of mass.

IF all the coins happen to be identical ... AND each one is worn down
the same amount, AND each one has the same amount of dirt and oil
on it ... then each one has (45/10) = 4.5 grams of mass. 

But those are some big IFs.
45 / 10 = 4.5

There are 4.5 grams in each coin.
