Answer:
x can be all real numbers
Step-by-step explanation:
1 - 5x = -5x + 1
-5x+5x=1-1
0=0
Set it up as an equation. "A number" is x.
2x-2=x+64
Move all of the x terms to one side by subtracting x from both sides, then add 2 to both sides to isolate x.
X=66
The number is 66
X+40+134=180
X+174=180 (combine like terms)
X=6 (subtract)
Answer:
x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Sheila is incorrect! I think what she did is think the 38 was actually a 35, which WOULD of made her statement true, but since it's 38, she's very incorrect. Sheila should be using the quotient for the size of each piece. 38 divided by 5 is 7.6. The correct answer is 7.6 inches.
