(x + a)/(ax) = b/x
a= 2
b = 5
(x + 2) /(2x) = 5/x
cross multiply
x * (x+2) = (2x)*5
x^2 + 2x = 10x
x^2 - 8x = 0
x ( x -8) = 0
We get two solutions
x = 0, 8
the solution 0 is extraneous
the solution 8 is valid.
From least to Greatest: 8/100, 7/10, 3/5
Answer:
C) 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
First, add 6 to both sides:
3x - 6 (+6) = 36 (+6)
3x = 36 + 6
3x = 42
Next, divide 3 from both sides:
(3x)/3 = (42)/3
x = 42/3
x = 14
c) 14 is your answer.
