Answer:
x= -15/8
Step-by-step explanation:
5(2x+3)-2x = 0
10x+15-2x = 0
8x= -15
x= -15/8
Set as a proportion
16 = 12
------------------
5x+2 24
cross multiply
12(5x+2) = 16 * 24
60x +24 = 384
60x +24-24 = 384-24
60x =360
60x/60=360/60
x =6
To figure AB plug 6 into 5x+2
5x +2
5(6) + 2
30+2
32
AB = 32
Answer:
6/25
Step-by-step explanation:
The value of x is 5
<h3>What are algebraic expressions?</h3>
Algebraic expressions are expressions made up;
- Factors
- variables
- terms
- constants
They also consist of mathematical operations such as addition, multiplication, division, subtraction, parenthesis, brackets, etc
We have the expression as;
7.5x = 5.5x + 10
collect like terms
7.5x - 5.5x = 10
subtract the like terms
2.0x = 10
Make 'x' the subject
x = 10/2. 0
x = 5
Thus, the value of x is 5
