Answer 1

Problem 16

Answer: Choice (3)  

Work Shown:

$2ax - 5x = 2\\\\x(2a - 5) = 2\\\\x = \frac{2}{2a-5}$

I factored out x, then divided both sides by (2a-5)

Problem 17

Answer: Choice (2)

Work Shown:

1 yard = 3 feet

1/3 yard = 1 foot

x/3 yards = x feet

In the second step, I divided both sides by 3. Afterward, I multiplied both sides by x.

Answer 2

#16

• 2ax-5x=2
• x(2a-5)=2
• x=2/2a-5

Option C

#17

• 3feets=1yard

So

• xfeet=1/3×x yard=x/3yard
