Example: x − 2 = 4

When we put 6 in place of x we get:

6 − 2 = 4

which is true

So x = 6 is a solution.

How about other values for x ?

For x=5 we get "5−2=4" which is not true, so x=5 is not a solution.For x=9 we get "9−2=4" which is not true, so x=9 is not a solution.etc

In this case x = 6 is the only solution

Answer:

x=5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify left side by adding 11x+x

12x+5=10

Get x alone on left side by subtracting 5 on both sides

12x=5

Get X alone by dividing both sides by 12

x=5/12

Answer:

The total number of registered doctors was 192,473.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

53700 is 27.9% = 0.279. The total number of registered doctors is x, which is 100% = 1. So

53700 doctors - 0.279

x doctors - 1

$0.279x = 53700$

$x = \frac{53700}{0.279}$

$x = 192473.11$

Rounding to the nearest whole number.

The total number of registered doctors was 192,473.
