Answer: x= -9/19
Step-by-step explanation:
5x+18/8=x/4
5x+ 9/4=x/4
5x+9/4-9/4=x/4-9/4
5x= x-9/4
5x(4)=x-9/4(4)
20x=x-9
20x-x=x-9-x
19x=-9
19x/19=-9/19
x=-9/19
I believe the answer you are looking for is -20.
Rewrite as (2^1/2 + 2^1/2)*(18^1/2-2^1/2) = 8
I’m learning this right now actually! The first one is...pretend the 2 is small. x2+2-15 and the second answer is x2+7-30!
Let the first number be = x
Then the second number = 2x
The third number = 2x - 5
Their sum = 55
This can be written in an equation as =
x + 2x + 2x - 5 = 55
= x + 2x + 2x = 55 + 5 ( transposing -5 from LHS to RHS changes -5 to +5 )
= x + 2x + 2x = 60
= 5x = 60
= x = 60 ÷ 5 ( transposing ×5 from LHS to RHS changes ×5 to ÷5 )
= x = 12
The first number = x = 12
The second number = 2x = 2 × 20 = 24
The third number = 2x - 5 = 24 - 5 = 19
Therefore , the three numbers are 12 , 24 and 19 .
