5 less than the number x = (x - 5)
Product of 12 and that : 12(x - 5) is = 45. Is is represented by the = sign.
12(x - 5) = 45
Option (c).
It would be 4. Multiply each side by -1/5.
It would cancel out the -1/5 leaving -15 = x.
Answer:
x=
2
3
=1.500
Step-by-step explanation:
(((7•(x-2))-3x)+5)-((0-2•(5x-4))+4) = 0
STEP
2
:
Equation at the end of step 2
((7 • (x - 2) - 3x) + 5) - (12 - 10x) = 0
STEP

:
STEP
4
:
Pulling out like terms
4.1 Pull out like factors :
14x - 21 = 7 • (2x - 3)
Equation at the end of step
4
:
7 • (2x - 3) = 0
STEP
5
:
Equations which are never true
5.1 Solve : 7 = 0
This equation has no solution.
A non-zero constant never equals zero.
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
5.2 Solve : 2x-3 = 0
Add 3 to both sides of the equation :
2x = 3
Divide both sides of the equation by 2:
x = 3/2 = 1.500
One solution was found :
x = 3/2 = 1.500
15/35 of her attempts were successful.
