Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
You may want to make everything into the same fraction to make the math easier. Because x/4 is the smallest fraction, make all of the other numbers with x match it.
3x = 12x/4, x/2 = 2x/4.
Now, 12x/4 - x/4 = 11x/4.
11x/4 + 9 = 1 - 2x/4 - 5. Now add x to one side to solve x.
13x/4 +9 = 1 - 5
13x/4 + 9 = -4
13x/4 = -13 (multiply by four on each side)
13x = -52
x = 4

Answer:
50x-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a = 17, b = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Sides GF and GH are congruent, so we have ...
GF = GH
30 = 2a -4 . . . . substitute given values
15 = a -2 . . . . . divide by 2
17 = a . . . . . . . . add 2
Sides FJ and HJ are congruent, so we have ...
FJ = HJ
3b +6 = 24 . . . . substitute given values
b +2 = 8 . . . . . . divide by 3
b = 6 . . . . . . . . . subtract 2
The values of a and b are (a, b) = (17, 6).
