So to start we need to divide 72 by 9 and you would get 8
Then multiply 2 by eight and you get 16

There are 16 horses.

Hope this helps!

Let the no. Of horses be x

9÷2 = 72÷x

X= 144÷9
No. Of horses = 16

How do you solve 3^(4x) = 3^(5-x)?

trasher [3.6K]

3^(4x) = 3^(5 - x)
4x = 5 - x
4x + x = 5
5x = 5
x = 5/5 = 1
x = 1

21x-5=7+17x Write it down step by step please

Nat2105 [25]

Answer: x=3

Step-by-step explanation: Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

21x−5=7+17x

21x+−5=7+17x

21x−5=17x+7

Step 2: Subtract 17x from both sides.

21x−5−17x=17x+7−17x

4x−5=7

Step 3: Add 5 to both sides.

4x−5+5=7+5

4x=12

Step 4: Divide both sides by 4.

$\frac{4x}{4}$ = $\frac{12}{4}$

So Final Answer: x=3
