The fraction can't be simplify since it already is
Answer:
Jordan
Step-by-step explanation:
Because each person is in debt the one with the least amount of dept will pay less. Think of it like this:
You owe the bank 85 dollars so your account balance is -85 since you owe money
if you were to owe 100 dollars then you owe more money.
Therefore owing 85 dollars is the least amount of money owed in this case
(x + 12) = (x + 14) - 3
subtract 12 from each side
x = x + 14 - 3 - 12
Now if we subtract x from each side we see that x - x = 0. Combine the terms left over and we have -1, so
0 = -1
The answer is NO SOLUTION
Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
6x + -24 = 2x + 12
Reorder the terms:
-24 + 6x = 2x + 12
Reorder the terms:
-24 + 6x = 12 + 2x
Solving
-24 + 6x = 12 + 2x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-2x' to each side of the equation.
-24 + 6x + -2x = 12 + 2x + -2x
Combine like terms: 6x + -2x = 4x
-24 + 4x = 12 + 2x + -2x
Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0
-24 + 4x = 12 + 0
-24 + 4x = 12
Add '24' to each side of the equation.
-24 + 24 + 4x = 12 + 24
Combine like terms: -24 + 24 = 0
0 + 4x = 12 + 24
4x = 12 + 24
Combine like terms: 12 + 24 = 36
4x = 36
Divide each side by '4'.
x = 9
Simplifying
x = 9
