Answer:
simplify 36 - 4.5x + 36 to -4.5x + 72
simplify 102 - 7.5x - 60 to -7.5x + 42
add 7.5x to both sides
simplify -4.5x + 72 + 7.5x to 3x + 72
subtract 72 from both sides
simplify 42 - 72 to -30
divide both sides by 3
simplify 30/3 to 10
Answer: x = -10
Let's write an equation and solve for x
12 1/2 = 5x + 3 1/3
rewrite the mixed fractions as improper fractions and with denominator 6
75/6 = 5x + 20/6
subtract 20/6 from both sides
55/6 = 5x
divide both sides by 5 to isolate x
11/6 = x
That is 1 and 5/6 pounds per each of the friends
To check:
<span>12 1/2 =?= 5(1 5/6) + 3 1/3
12 1/2 =?= 55/6 + 3 1/3
12 1/2 =?= 25/2
12 1/2 = 12 1/2
Hope this helps</span>
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3 x + x = 20
2/3 x + 3/3x = 20
5/3 x = 20 ... times 3/5 both sides
x = 12
check: 2/3 x 12 + 12 = 8 + 12 = 20
It’s C if you’re supposed to view it from the top, but A from the side
