Rhombus no right angles 2 pairs of parallel sides
2x + x - 1 x
= ------------------ * ---------
x(x - 1) 8
3x - 1
= --------------
8x - 8
3x + 7 = x
First, subtract 3x from both sides. / Your problem should look like: 7 = x - 3x
Second, simplify x - 3x to -2x. / Your problem should look like: 7 = -2x
Third, divide both sides by -2. / Your problem should look like:

= x
Fourth, simplify

to

/ Your problem should look like:

= x
Fifth, switch sides. / Your problem should look like: x =

Answer as fraction:

Answer as decimal: -3.5
You can solve real-world and mathematical problems with numerical and algebraic equations and inequalities. Algebra can be applied to the temperature in different places that both change, height of a growing child over time, the speed of a car that changes over time (mph), and the age of people that increases over year. Algebra is used in parts of our everyday life, we just don’t realize it.
H = 60 + 8x
h = Tree's height in inches
x = years of growth
