Answer:
-1/13
Step-by-step explanation:
5-x= 12x + 4
5-4=12x + x
1 = 13x
-1/13 = x
The correct answer is B hope this helped
Answer:
39
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the three consecutive odd numbers be:
x+2, x+4, x+6.
The sum of the consecutive numbers is 123 i.e
x+2 + (x+4) + (x+6) = 123
x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 = 123
3x + 12 = 123
Collect like terms
3x = 123 — 12
3x = 111
Divide both side by the coefficient of x i.e 3
x = 111/3
x = 37
Now let us find the value of the three odd numbers. This is illustrated:
1st : x + 2 = 37 + 2 = 39
2nd : x + 4 = 37 + 4 = 41
3rd : x + 6 = 37 + 6 = 43
The smallest of the three consecutive odd numbers is 39
Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Keep the variable left alone by removing any numbers next to it-
3x = 33
Divide each side by 3 to keep x by itself
3x/3 = x
3/3 = 1
x = 1
Simplify-
x = 1
