Answer:

The answer is m = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve the proportional equation, this way:

3/m-2 = 7/m+2

3 * (m + 2) = 7 * (m - 2) [Lowest common denominator (m + 2) * (m - 2)]

3m + 6 = 7m - 14

-4m = -14 - 6 (Like terms)

-4m = -20

m = -20/-4

m = 5

The answer is m = 5

Twice the sum of 13 and x is not greater than 15

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

This is saying that 2(13x) < 15

If you have 2[13(0)] < 15

It will come to 2(0) < 15

This equals 0 < 15 which is true therefore making the x value = 0
