Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
You would need 13/14 12in rulers to make it the size of the flag
-3(6x+5)-2(1-17x)=3(5+5x)
Mutiply the first bracket by -3
(-3)(6x)= -18x
(-3)(5)= -15
Mutiply the second bracket by -2
(-2)(1)= -2
(-2)(-17x)= 34x
Mutiply the third bracket by 3
(3)(5)= 15
(3)(5x)= 15x
-18x-15-2+34x= 15+15x
-18x+34x-15-2= 15+15x
16x-17= 15+15x
move 15 to the other side
sign changes from +15 to -15
16x-17-15= 15-15+15x
16x-32= 15x
move -32 to the other side
sign changes from -32 to +32
16x-32+32=15x+32
16x= 15x+32
move 15x to the other side
sign changes from +15x to -15x
16x-15x=15x-15x+32
x= 32
Answer: x= 32
I would say option 3 hopefully im right!!
