Steps to solve:

-15 + 12x = 5x + 7 - 3x

~Combine like terms

-15 + 12x = (5x - 3x) + 7

~Simplify

-15 + 12x = 2x + 7

~Add 15 to both sides

-15 + 15 + 12x = 2x + 7 + 15

~Simplify

12x = 2x + 22

~Subtract 2x to both sides

12x - 2x = 2x - 2x + 22

~Simplify

10x = 22

~Divide 10 to both sides

10x/10 = 22/10

~Simplify

x = 11/5 or 2.2

Best of Luck!

Answer:

x = 2.2

Step-by-step explanation:

-15 + 12x = 5x + 7 - 3x

Combine like terms

-15 +12x = 2x +7

Subtract 2x from each side

-15 +12x -2x = 2x-2x +7

-15 +10x = 7

Add 15 from each side

-15+15 +10x = 7+15

10x = 22

Divide each side by 10

10x/10 = 22/10

x = 2.2

One eight of Tony's books are mystery books. He has 3 mystery books. How many books does tony have in all?
Leviafan [203]
Tony has 24 books in total because if 1/8 of the books are mystery and there are 8 mystery books you have to multiple the denominator by the amount of mystery books (8*3=24).

If a baker doubles a recipe that calls for 6-2/3 cups of flour. How many cups will be needed in all?
nadya68 [22]
Hey there!

The easiest way I could think to do this is by converting your mixed number to an improper fraction and multiplying the fraction by 2, or 2 over 1. 

6 \frac{2}{3}  = 6*3+2 =  \frac{20}{3}

\frac{20}{3} *  \frac{2}{1}

To multiply fractions, you can just multiply the numerators and denominators and simplify, if applicable. 

\frac{20}{3} * \frac{2}{1} = \frac{40}{3}

Since you can't simplify this fraction in its improper form, just convert it back into a mixed number. 

\frac{40}{3} = 13 \frac{1}{3}

So, your answer will be 13 \frac{1}{3}. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)
