The solutions of the equations for x are given as follows:
a. x = 36.
b. x = 15.
<h3>What is the solution for item a?</h3>
The equation for item a is given by:
x/3 - 5 = 7
Isolating x, we have that:
x/3 = 12
x = 3 x 12
x = 36.
<h3>What is the solution for item b?</h3>
The equation for item b is given by:
x/2 - 5 = 2.5
Isolating x, we have that:
x/2 = 7.5
x = 7.5 x 2
x = 15.
Hence the solutions are:
a. x = 36.
b. x = 15.
