Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x)/2 = 15 is your question.

Isolate the variable (x). Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponent (& roots), Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction).

First, multiply 2 to both sides

((3x)/2) = (15)(2)

3x = (15)(2)

3x = 30

Next, to isolate the variable (x), divide 3 from both sides

(3x)/3 = (30)/3

x = 30/3

x = 10

x = 10 is your answer

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(3 x)/2 = 15

Multiply both sides of (3 x)/2 = 15 by 2/3:

(2×3 x)/(3×2) = 2/3×15

2/3×15 = (2×15)/3:

(2×3 x)/(3×2) = (2×15)/3

(2×3 x)/(3×2) = (3×2)/(3×2)×x = x:

x = (2×15)/3

15/3 = (3×5)/3 = 5:

x = 2×5

2×5 = 10:

Answer:  x = 10

Hello.

The answer to your question is = 
12, 3 x 4 and 6 x 2.
24, 3 x 8 and 6 x  4.
36, 3 x 12 and 6 x 6.
48, 3 x 16 and 6 x 8.

So it's pretty much everything except for 32.
Have a great day!

tis always a good idea when factoring to start off with a quick prime factoring.

\begin{array}{llll} 52&=&2\cdot 2\cdot 13\\\\ 77&=&\boxed{7}\cdot 11\\\\ 91&=&\boxed{7}\cdot 13\\\\ 124&=&2\cdot 2\cdot 31\\\\ 217&=&\boxed{7}\cdot 31 \end{array}

In Exercises 23–36, solve the system using either Gaussian elimina- tion with back-substitution or Gauss-Jordan elimination. 23.
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

23) x= 3, y = 4

24) Any (x,y) values where x = 1.5 - 2y

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first system(23), it goes like this

[1 2 | 7]

[2 1 | 8]

We need to do L2 = L2 - 2L1, so now it is

[1 2   | 7]

[0 -3 |-6]

So, now we have:

-3y = -6 *(-1)

3y = 6

y = 2

x + 2y = 7

x + 4 = 7

x = 3

Now for system 24, we have:

[-1 2 | 1.5]

[2 -4| 3]

We do L2 = L2 + 2L1, so we have:

[-1 2 | 1.5]

[0 0| 0]

So there are infinite solutions for this system. The solution for this system will be each (x,y) pair where x = 1.5 - 2y.

A first number plus twice a second number is 9. Twice the first number plus the second totals 21. Find the numbers
WITCHER [35]
Let x and y be the numbers;
We have x + 2y = 9 and 2x + y = 21;
Then, x = 9 - 2y;
Finally, 2(9-2y) + y = 21 ;
18 - 4y + y = 21;
18 - 3y = 21;
-3y = 3;
y = - 1;
x = 9 - 2× (-1);
x = 9 + 2 ;
x = 11;
