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.

Distributive property:

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

Expand the form multiply.

4*x=4x

4*3=12

Rewrite the problem down.

4x-12=9

Add by 12 from both sides.

4x-12+12=9+12

Solve.

Add the numbers from left to right.

9+12=21

4x=21

Divide by 4 from both sides.

4x/4=21/4

Solve.

Divide the numbers from left to right.

x=21/4

21/4=5.25

x=21/4=5.25

Therefore, the final answer is x=21/4=5.25.

A train has 6 passenger cars and each car has 4 columns of seats and each column holds 50 passengers. If one of the cars has 25

Tema [17]

Given:
The train has 6 passenger cars
Each car has 4 columns
And 1 column hold 50 passengers

So, total of seats will be = 6 * 4 * 50 = 1200

Now, there are 25 empty seats,

therefore the correct equation will be :

Number of seats per car: 4 × 50 = 200

Total number of seats: 200 × 6 = 1,200

Number of passengers: 1,200 − 25 = p

At highland falls pumpkin growing contest, the prize winning pumpkin contains 360 seeds. The proud farmer plans to sell his seed

saul85 [17]

The way to find this out is you want to take the number of seeds and divide it by the amount he would like in the pack. You want to see how many 12s can fit into 360. 360/12 if you divide 360 by 12, you will come to your total and final answer of 30 :)

Please solve, -7x+8=-4(x+1)

omeli [17]

Answer: $x=4$

Simplify both sides of the equation.

$-7x+8=-4(x+1)\\-7x+8=(-4)(x)+(-4)(1)(Distribute)\\-7x+8=-4x+-4$

Add 4x to both sides

$-7x+8+4x=-4x-4+4x\\-3x+8=-4$

Subtract 8 from both sides

$-3x+8-8=-4-8\\-3x=-12$

Divide both sides by -3

$-3x/-3=-12/-3\\x=4$

Dante has 60 baseball cards. this is at least six more than three time as many cards as Anna. write and solve an inequality to r

Anon25 [30]

D=dante's cards number
a=anna's cards number

d=60
this (d) is at least (smallest is, aka greater than or equal to or >) 6 more than (+6) 3 times as many as anna (3 times a or 3a)

d>6+3a
d=60
60>6+3a
subtract 6 from both sides
54>3a
divide both sides by 3
18>a
anna has at least 18 cards
