3/7≈0.429
I hope it will help you
17 = 3(4x - 5)
<em><u>Distributive property.</u></em>
17 = 12x - 15
<em><u>Add 15 to both sides.</u></em>
32 = 12x
<em><u>Divide both sides by 12.</u></em>
x = 2.67. (This is your answer.)
Let me know if you have any questions.
Move the x's to the same side
2x + x = 8 +6
then simplify
3x = 14
make x stand on its own
(3x)/3 = 14/3
the 3's on the x side cancel
x = 14/3
90 square ft (try and look at it like each side is a 2d rectangle, find the areas of the sides and then add them up.)
It means the same used in a question like this, is 25 as much as 25.
