The answer is 3!
explanation; 3x10 equals 30. the difference is 27 years and 30-3=27!
L = 10M
27 = L - M
27 = 10M - M
27 = 9M
M = 3
L = 10M = 10(3) = 30

So x=2/3(1/3)=2/9 of a day
Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Rearrange equation by making x's on one side and numbers on the other
2x - x = 9 - 8
x = 1
Answer:
plug in 16 for x
14√x+15 = 71
14√x+15-15 = 71-15 = 56
14√x/14 = 56/14 = 4
√x^2 = 4^2 = 16
