Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Maybe you want to find x such that ...
2/7 = x/(x +10)
2(x +10) = 7x . . . . . . multiply by 7(x+10)
20 = 5x . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2x, simplify
4 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

You can almost solve this "by inspection" if you recognize the difference of the denominator and numerator is 5 on the left and 10 on the right. If you multiply the fraction on the left by 2/2, you get 4/14, the values in x/(x+10) in the fraction on the right.
If Jeff writes comic strips at a rate of 3 comics an hour then you must put 3,4,7&9 into the function and add up the products.
9+12+21+27=69
Multiple each number I think
A − 3b = 16
a = b − 2
b - 2 - 3b = 16
2b = - 18
b = - 9
a = - 9 - 2
a = - 11
(-11,-9)
