Divide 7.5 by 12 which equals 0.625
The answer should be less than 1 bag.
Tenths: 2.1 hundredths:2.13 Tens:2
Let us suppose missing term is y
so it becomes - ( x-1) + 5 = 2 ( x+3) - y
let us now try solving it for x ( in terms of y )
-x + 1 + 5 = = 2x + 6 - y
-x + 6 = 2x + 6 -y
6 + y = 2x + 6 +x
y = 3x
y / 3 = x
but x is given to be infinite . let us try placing y= the given options
x= x/3 which is not possible
x= 3x/3 which is giving valid statement
x= 1/3 which is a finite value
x= 5/3 again a finite value
so it is only y= 3x which could be the answer
Answer : option second that is 3x
The answer is
Final result :
x - 2
Step by step solution :

Step 2 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
2.1 Adding a whole to a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 3 as the denominator :
5 5 • 3
5 = — = —————
1 3
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole
Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
x + 5 • 3 x + 15
————————— = ——————

Step 4 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
4.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 3 as the denominator :
7 7 • 3
7 = — = —————
1 3
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
4.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
2x - (7 • 3) 2x - 21
———————————— = ———————
3 3
Equation at the end of step 4 :
(2x - 21) (x + 15)
————————— + ————————
3 3
Step 5 :
Adding fractions which have a common denominator :
5.1 Adding fractions which have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
(2x-21) + (x+15) 3x - 6
———————————————— = ——————
3 3
Step 6 :
Pulling out like terms :
6.1 Pull out like factors :
3x - 6 = 3 • (x - 2)
Final result :
x - 2
