Answer:
2/5x = 3/20 or 2/5 *x = 3/20
Step-by-step explanation:
These are the same thing just different ways to write. The x represents the unknown number
Answer:
39
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the three consecutive odd numbers be:
x+2, x+4, x+6.
The sum of the consecutive numbers is 123 i.e
x+2 + (x+4) + (x+6) = 123
x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 = 123
3x + 12 = 123
Collect like terms
3x = 123 — 12
3x = 111
Divide both side by the coefficient of x i.e 3
x = 111/3
x = 37
Now let us find the value of the three odd numbers. This is illustrated:
1st : x + 2 = 37 + 2 = 39
2nd : x + 4 = 37 + 4 = 41
3rd : x + 6 = 37 + 6 = 43
The smallest of the three consecutive odd numbers is 39
Think about this. What do the numbers in a coordinate stand for? They stand for X and Y. If you're trying to figure out what the X is, wouldn't you be solving for x? And didn't they just give you an equation? ;) First off, do you see how the "Y" value is given to you in the coordinate? All you have to do is substitute that 3 in for the "y" in the equation! 3=2x+5. Hey.... that looks like a simple equation! First, you need to subtract 5 from the other side of the equation. Now you're left with 2x=-2. Divide both sides by 2, and you get that x=-1. Now, just substitute that "x' value into the coordinate, and your answer should come out to be (-1, 3). :D
