Six times four less than three times x

18x - 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Three times x is 3x.

Four less than three times x is 3x - 4.

Six times four less than three times x is 6 * ( 3x - 4 ).

6 * ( 3x - 4 )

= 6 ( 3x ) + 6 ( - 4 )

= 18x - 24

-2 is the right

secant-secant formula:

(whole secant) x (external part) =           (whole secant) x (external part)

(8+y-2) *8=                                           (y+4+6) *6

(y+6)*8 = (y+10) *6

distribute

8y+48 = 6y +60

subtract 6y from each side

2y +48 = 60

subtract 48 from each side

2y = 12

divide by 2

y = 6

sv =     (y+4+6)

sv   = 6+4+6

sv = 16
