Answer:

$x = 2.2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$- 15 + 12x = 5x + 7 - 3x \\ + 12x - 5x + 3x = 15 + 7 \\ 10x = 22 \\ \frac{10x}{10} = \frac{22}{10} \\ x = 2.2$

Answer: $x=\frac{11}{5}$

Simplify both sides of the equation

$-15+12x=5x+7+-3x$

$12x-15=(5x+-3x)+(7)$ (Combine Like Terms)

$12x-15=2x+7$

Subtract 2x from both sides

$12x-15-2x=2x+7-2x\\10x-15=7$

Divide both sides by 10

$\frac{10x}{10} =\frac{22}{10}$

$x=\frac{11}{5}$

What is 965,000,000,000,000 in scientific notation

Genrish500 [490]

Scientific notation is the way that scientists easily handle very large numbers or very small numbers. For example, instead of writing 0.0000000056, we write 5.6 x 10-9.

So, if we are dealing with 965000000000000, then the answer would be:

9.65 x 10^14

60% of what number is 21

Lerok [7]

60% of 35 is 21

Change the percentage (60) into a decimal by dividing it over 100:
$\frac{60}{100} = 0.6$

Divide 21 by the decimal:
 $\frac{21}{0.6} = 35$
