Ok bet I got you say less
36/12 = 24 / (6x-4)
3(6x-4) = 24
18x - 12 = 24
18x = 36
x = 2
Well how far away is t (-3) from r (12)?
It's 15 away. It gets 15 less, so q will be 15 more.
12+15=27
q is 27
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer: 1/12
Discussion:
We solve 5/12 + x = 1/2 for x. Begin by subtracting 5/12 from each side
5/12 - 5/12 + x = 1/2 - 5/12
0 +x = 6/12 - 5/12 (as 1/2 = 6/12)
So x = 1/12

When an answer to a question uses the greater than symbol, that means any number above the number used is a possible answer to the equation. However, when it's just a simple "x = 2", then 2 is the only possible answer to that equation. Think about it as if it were on a graph. In the attached file I have a graph that is displaying the equation "x > 4". The entire shaded area to the right of 4 could be a possible answer.
Hope this helps.
