Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. x - 2 = 10
x = 10 + 2 = 12
2. 40 = 5x
40/5 = x
x = 8
3. x/2 = 8
Multiply by 2 on both sides
x = 16
4. x + 14 = 24
x = 24 - 14 = 10
5. x + 2 = 10
x = 10 - 2 = 8
6. x/8 = 1
Multiply by 8 on both sides
x = 8
No 2 5 and 6 is the correct answer
This is an impossible equation.
If you have something and you add 3 to it, how can the result be the same as the original?
Answer:
make me brainliest i have been subbed for a couple yrs not joking
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be represented by x
2x=60+ 5x -20*2=60+5*-20
2x-5x=5x-5x+60 -40=60+-100
-3x=60 -40=-40
-3x/-3=60/-3
x=-20
Therefore the number is -20
