Answer:
x = 5/3
Step-by-step explanation:
You ALWAYS want your term to be by itself!! So what you need to do is move your constant away from it.
Step 1: Adjust as needed, subtract 10 from both sides of your equation. It should end up like this.
-3x = 5 - 10
Step 2: Solve as needed before continuing equation.
-3x = -5
Step 3: Now you need to get your term by itself. You should divide -3 on both sides of your equation so you should get something like this.
x = -5 / -3
Step 4: You're basically done now! Just simplify! NEGATIVES CROSS EACH OTHER OUT!!!
x = 5/3 OR 1.6
<em>KEY:</em>
<em>Negative and Negative = Positive</em>
<em>Negative and Positive = Negative</em>
<em>Positive and Positive = Positive</em>
Answer: x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
15 / 20 = (2x + 3) / 28
cross multiply
15(28) = 20(2x + 3)
420 = 40x + 60
360 = 40x
x = 9
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If 12 types only last 4 days, and the rest last an average of 6, then the average amount of days that ALL the flowers wilt would be 5. To find the average, you add 6 and 4 to get 10, and since there is only 2 number we added togehter to get 10, you would divide 10 by 2 to get 5!
