I got 9.75 hope it's right
You would have to make 465=1550-7 1/2 x and find x
Subtract 1550 from both sides
-1085=-7 1/2x
Divide -7 1/2 on both sides
And the answer is 144 2/3
Sorry about ur bad luck
Start by setting up a factor tree for each number.
Factor in anyway that you'd like.
At the end, circle all prime numbers.
Remember, prime numbers are numbers
with only 2 factors, 1 and the number itself.
Now write these factors in least to greatest
multiplying them separate rows.
Circle factors they have in common.
Since 3 pairs of two's match up, multiply by 2 three times to get 8.
So the GCF is 8.
x = 30
The distributive property says that we need to multiply what's in the brackets by 1/2 (so 1/2*x and 1/2*6) to get the equation 1/2x + 3 = 18.
Then we need to subtract our constant, 3, from boths sides to get 1/2x = 15.
Multiply both sides by two to isolate x and you get x = 30.
Hope this helps! :)
