Let "x" be a substitute for "a number"

1/3(x)=x-12 Multiply by 3
x=3x-36 Get n onto the same side of the equation
2x=36 Divide by 2
x=18

That's your answer.

Arithmetic of functions

Rzqust [24]

Its B.

If $f(x)=4x+1$ and $g(x)=x^2-5$ then, $(\frac{g}{f})(x)=\frac{x^2-5}{4x+1}$ and $x\neq-\frac{1}{4}$ because if x were $-\frac{1}{4}$ then you would have division by 0.
