3x +2= 5x
-3x
2= 2x
/2
1= x
So first I got all the x’s on one side and the whole numbers on the other side. So we had 2 on one side and 2x on the other. From there we divided by the number of x’s which was 2 so we can get one x only. So 2/2= 1 so x =1
Answer:
Not enough information! What do you want me to solve?
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
A solution of 60% fertilizer is to be mixed with a solution of 21% fertilizer to form 234 liters of a 43% solution.
To find:
The quantity of the 60% solution in the mixture.
Solution:
Let x be the quantity of the 60% solution and y be the quantity of the 21% solution.
Quantity of mixture is 234. So,

...(i)
The mixture has 43% fertilizer. So,

Multiply both sides by 100.
...(ii)
Using (i) and (ii), we get




Divide both sides by -39.


Putting this value in (i), we get


Therefore, 132 liters of the 60% solution must be used.
You cannot factor it any further as it is in its simplest factored form. There is no common factor in either the term (25x^2) or (9y^2) that you can pull out so it cannot be simplified. Hope this helps
