Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So we have:
Distribute:
Combine like terms:
Subtract 12x from both sides:
Add 30 to both sides:
Divide both sides by -16:
And that's our answer :)
The answer is: " 11 " .

Set up the ratio/ proportion as a fraction:
6 cm / 48 cm = 5 cm / (3x + 7) ;
→ The "cm" units cancel out; since: "cm/cm = 1 " ;
→ The "6/48" = "(6 ÷ 6) / (48 ÷ 6) = " 1/8 " ;
→ Rewrite as:
;
Now, we can "cross-multiply" :

As such:
1 * (3x + 7) = 8 * 5 ;
→ 3x + 7 = 40 ;
Subtract "7" from each side of the equation:
→ 3x + 7 − 7 = 40 <span>− 7 ;
</span>
to get:
→ 3x = 33 ;
Now, divide each side of the equation by "3" ;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;
→ 3x / 3 = 33 / 3 ;
to get:

→ " x = 11 " .
