Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
x = 1/2 (1 +\- i sqrt(23))
Discussion:
x \3x - 2 = (x/3)*x - 2 = (x^2)/3 - 2 (*)
1 \3x - 4 = (1/3)x - 4 (**)
(*) = (**) =>
(x^2)/3 -2 = (1/3)x - 4 => multiply both sides by 3
x^2 - 6 = x - 12 => subtract x from both sides
x^2 -x -6 = -12 => add 12 to both sides
x^2-x +6 = 0
Using the quadratic formula gives:
x = 1/2 (1 +\- i sqrt(23))
Thank you,
MrB
X-7=13
move -7 to the right side of the equation, change the sign from negative to positive when you move it
x-7+7=13+7
x=13+7
x=20
Subtract 5 from both sides
a/-8 = 4/7 - 5
simplify 4/7 - 5 to 31/-7
a/-8 = 31/-7
multiply both sides by 8
-a = 31/-7 x 8
simplify 31/7 x 8 to 248/7
-a = 248/7
multiply both sides by -1.
The answer is a = 248/7

Answer:
37.5 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a parallelogram is
A = bh where b is the base and h is the height
A = 7.5 * 5
A = 37.5 cm^2
Get x to one side by subtracting 2x by 5x.
-3x = -30
Then divide both sides by -3 to get x = 10
Have a nice day.
