we have that
*-------------------------*--------------------------------*
E F G
EF=2x-12
FG= 3x-15
EG=23
we know that
EF + FG = EG
so
[2x - 12] + [3x - 15] = 23 simplify
5x - 27 = 23 add 27 to both sides
5x = 50 divide both sides by 5
x = 10
EF=2x-12-------> EF=2*10-12-------> EF=8
FG= 3x-15------> FG=3*10-15------> FG=15
therefore
the answer part a) is
the value of x is 10
the answer part b) is
the value of EF is 8
the answer part c) is
the value of FG is 15
Answer:
x=16
Step-by-step explanation:
50+40=90
40-8=32
32/2=16
x=16
Firstly look at the options carefully and we will get to know that two answer options are incorrect because 2 of them are representing AT MOST SIGN which we don't need. So in that way Options B and D are eliminated.
So Now we are left with 2 options A and C. Lets figure it out.
We know that Carlos has 5 complete set with 4 individual figures and josh has 3 complete sets with 14 individual figures.
So lets write in the numerical language:-
let us assume that complete sets are X.
ATQ,
5x + 4 ≥ 3x + 14
subtracting 3x from both sides.
5x -3x + 4 ≥ 14
2x + 4 ≥ 14
subtracting 4 from both sides
2x ≥ 14 - 4
2x ≥ 10
dividing both sides by 2
x ≥ 5 Answer
So correct answer option is C
5x-3=42. To solve you add three to both sides making the equation 5x=45. Then you divide both sides by five, and you get 9 as your answer.
