Answer:
x=5/13
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3+7/2=9x+5/6+4x
2/3+7/2-5/6=9x+4x
lcm of 2,3,6=6
2/3=4/6 7/2=21/6 5/6=5/6
4/6+21/6-5/6=9x+4x
30/6=13x
5=13x
x=5/13
Answer:
7/16
Step-by-step explanation:
7/16>3/8
We have similar triangles so
12/x = (12+78)/(x+13)
We can skip some algebra by doing the ratio on the pieces. We'll show it works at the end.
12/x = 78/13
x = 12(13)/78 = 2
We check
12/2 = 6
(12+78)/(2+13) = 90/15 = 6, good
