NEED HELP ASAP! Arianna correctly simplified an expression. When she substituted \ into the simplified expression, the value was –4. Which could be Arianna’s original expression? One-sixth (negative 3 x minus 24) One-sixth (negative 5 x minus 8) One-sixth (negative 10 x minus 4) One-sixth (negative 12 x minus 16).

(1/6)(-10x - 4) = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

(1/6)(-3x - 24) = -4

=> -3x - 24 = -4 x 6

=> -3x - 24 = -24

=> -3x = 24 - 24

=> -3x = 0

=> x = 0 (not 2) => Incorrect option

(1/6)(-5x - 8) = -4

=> -5x - 8 = -4 x 6

=> -5x - 8 = -24

=> -5x = 8 - 24

=> -5x = -16

=> x = 16/5 (not 2) => Incorrect option

(1/6)(-10x - 4) = -4

=> -10x - 4 = -4 x 6

=> -10x - 4 = -24

=> -10x = 4 - 24

=> -10x = -20

=> x = 2 => Correct option

(1/6)(-12x - 16) = -4

=> -12x - 16 = -4 x 6

=> -12x - 16 = -24

=> -12x = 16 - 24

=> -12x = 8

=> x = -3/4 (not 2) => Incorrect option

=> Option C is correct

Hope this helps!

the formula for the equation of a circle is (x – h)2+ (y – k)2 = r2, where (h, k) represents the coordinates of the center of the circle, and r represents the radius of the circle. if a circle is tangent to the x-axis at (3,0), this means it touches the x-axis at that point.
