1.) 4 - t = 3(t - 1) - 5
4 - t = 3t - 3 - 5
4 - t = 3t - 8
3t + t = 4 + 8
4t = 12
t = 12/4 = 3

2.) 8x - 2(x + 1) = 2(3x - 1)
8x - 2x - 2 = 6x - 2
6x - 2 = 6x - 2
0 = 0
solution is identity.

3.) 3(c - 2) = 2(c - 6)
3c - 6 = 2c - 12
3c - 2c = -12 + 6
c = -6

4.) 0.5(m + 4) = 3(m - 1)
0.5m + 2 = 3m - 3
3m - 0.5m = 2 + 3
2.5m = 5
m = 5/2.5 = 2
m = 2

Professor Turner wrote the expression below on the chalkboard for his team at the Research Center. He asked the scientists there

Lynna [10]

Answer:

12x + 18y + 6z + 4x - 4z

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression : 3(4x + 6y + 2z) + 4(x – z)

To eliminate the parenthesis ; we use the distributive property :

3(4x + 6y + 2z) + 4(x – z) becomes ;

3*4x + 3*6y + 3*2z + 4*x + 4*-z

12x + 18y + 6z + 4x - 4z

Hence,

12x + 4x + 18y + 6z - 4z

16x + 18y + 2z

Solve for x. 50 = x^2 Show your work.

Tanzania [10]

50 = x^2

To isolate x you need to do the opposite of an exponent, which would be square root.

$\sqrt{50} = x Next solve what the square root of 50 is[tex]5\sqrt{2}$ = x

That is the exact form, in other words your answer, if teacher is looking for a decimal, it would be

7.07 = x
