Answer: x=-12
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
4x+27=−33−x
4x+27=−33+−x
4x+27=−x−33
Step 2: Add x to both sides.
x+27+x=−x−33+x
5x+27=−33
Step 3: Subtract 27 from both sides.
5x+27−27=−33−27
5x=−60
Step 4: Divide both sides by 5.
x=−12
Answer:
17/18
Step-by-step explanation:
2
/18 + 15
/18
= 2
/18 + 15/
18
= 2+15
/18
= 17
/18
First number is (x).
Second number is (2x+7).
Third number is (x-12).
Their sum is (x+2x+7+x-12).
x+2x+7+x-12 =131
You can simplify this equation
4x-5=131,
4x=136
x=136/4=34 (first number),
(2x+7)=34*2+7=75 (second number)
34-x=34-12 =22(third number)
Check: 34+75+22=131
