Okay. The question is m/9 - 17 = 21. First off, we will add 17 to both sides. -17 + 17 cancels out. 21 + 17 is 38. That leaves m/9 = 38. Multiply each side by 9 to isolate the m, because m is the numerator and 9 is the denominator. m/9 * 9/1 cancels out. 38 * 9 is 342. Let's check this. 342/9 is 38. 38 - 17 is 21. 21 = 21. There. x = 342.
Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The proportion is
14/6 = 21/(3x - 12) Cross Multiply
14*(3x - 12) = 6*21 Remove the brackets and combine
42x - 168 = 126 Add 168 to both sides
42x = 126 + 168
42x = 294 Divide by 42
x = 294/42
x = 7
Answer:
3x+9=180(angles on a line
3x=180-9
3x=171
x=171/3
x=57
