Answer:
C. x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
5(12) + 9 = 69 - 3(12) = 33
18 + 15 = 33
The error is in the second step they subtracted 3 from both sides but it was a 3x, which you can not do.
Correction.
9x+18+3x=1
12x+18=1
12x=-17
x=-17/12
One third of 75 would be 25 because you divide 75÷3=25
I think it would be 1462 yards
