1 cm is to 6.5 miles as x cm is to 45 miles

1/6.5 = x/45 now solve for x by cross multiplying

Solve the equation 12x-14=4x+10

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

12x-14=4x+10

Subtract 4x from each side

12x-4x-14=4x-4x+10

8x - 14 = 10

Add 14 to each side

8x - 14+14 = 10+14

8x = 24

Divide each side by 8

8x/8 = 24/8

x = 3
