Answer:

$x = -47$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Use the distributive property

5 ( x - 7 ) = 6 ( x + 2 ) → 5x - 35 = 6x + 12

2. Subtract 5x from both sides of the equation

5x - 5x -35 = 6x - 5x + 12 → -35 = x + 12

3. Subtract 12 from both sides

-35 - 12 = x + 12 - 12 → -47 = x

4. So, the answer is

$x = -47$

Garden A has 9 more currant bushes than Garden B. If 3 currant bushes are transplanted from Garden B to Garden A, then Garden A

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

42

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the original number of bushes in garden A

Let x-9 = the original number of bushes in garden B

x-9-3=x-12 = bushes in garden B after transplanting 3

x+3 = bushes in garden A after transplanting 3

x+3=1.5(x-12)

x+3=1.5x-18

0.5x=21

x=42

There were 42 current bushes in garden A
