Answer:
x=10
Step-by-step explanation:
Make 2x the only variable on the left side of the equation. Do that by taking 3 and 5 to the left. Note: if you move/transpose any number the sign must change.
2x = 18+5-3
2x=20
Divide both sides of the equation by 2 to make x the only variable left.
x=10
12(7x)^1/5
This is simplification into index form, the index itself is the 5th root of 7x if you just wanted to state what it is
<u>Answer:</u>
- 6. 6.75
- 7. 27
- 8. 92/17
- 9. 49
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
<u>- Question 6 -</u>
- 9/16 = x/12
- => 16x = 12 x 9
- => 16x = 108
- => x = 6.75
Hence, <u>the value of x in this proportion is 6.75.</u>
<h3>_______________________________</h3>
<u>- Question 7 -</u>
- -3 + x/18 = 12/9
- => -3/18 + x/18 = 4/3
- => x/18 = 4/3 + 1/6
- => x/18 = 8/6 + 1/6
- => x/18 = 9/6
- => x = 9/6 x 18
- => x = 27
Hence, <u>the value of x is 27</u>
<h3>_______________________________</h3>
<u>- Question 8 -</u>
17/15 = 10/2x - 2
=> 17(2x - 2) = 150
=> 34x - 34 = 150
=> 34x = 184
=> x = 184/34
=> x = 92/17
Hence, <u>the value of x is 92/17</u>
<h3>_______________________________</h3>
<u>- Question 9 -</u>
- x - 16/x + 6 = 3/5
- => 5(x - 16) = 3(x + 6)
- => 5x - 80 = 3x + 18
- => 2x = 98
- => x = 49
Hence, <u>the value of x is 49.</u>

Answer: the first answer is correct i think :]
Answer:
We cannot agree with Andre because x = 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the diagram is a weighing scale which can also be represented as an equation having two sides that is balanced. We can express the situation as follows using equation:
x + 2 = 5
Solve for x
x + 2 - 2 = 5 - 2 (subtraction property of equality)
x = 3
If you plug in the value of x on the diagram given, the scale becomes balance on each side.
Therefore, x = 3. Andre is wrong and we cannot agree with Andre.
