(negative infinity, 2] [2,infinity)
X=17
Distribute 2(x-5)
You are left with 2x-10=24
You then want to get 2x by itself so add 10 on both sides so that you get 2x=34
Isolate x completely by dividing by 2 on both sides which then leaves you with x=17
They’re equivalent because 3 • 3 is 9 and whatever you do to the top, you do to the bottom, therefore 4 • 3 is 12. That would equal 9/12.
