Value of x is 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Given that x+1/3 = x/2
Cross-multiply to find the value of x.
⇒ 2(x + 1) = 3x
⇒ 2x + 2 = 3x
⇒ x = 2
The answer is "b"

Answer:
11 and 13
Step-by-step explanation:
the first (smaller) odd integer can be called x
the second (larger) odd integer can be called x+2
2(x+2)+x = 37
<em>[simplify . . .]</em>
2x+4+x = 37
3x+4 = 37
<em>[subtract 4 from each side]</em>
3x = 33
<em>[divide each side by 3; find smaller odd integer]</em>
x = 11
<em>[add 2 to find larger odd integer]</em>
x+2 = 13
Answer:
n < 3
Step-by-step explanation:
6n + 10 < 4n + 16
( Minus 4n from both sides to isolate + 16 )
2n + 10 < 16
( Minus 10 from both sides to isolate 2n )
2n < 6
( Divide both sides by 2 to isolate n )
n < 3
