Is this (1.5)2(1.5) / -2(1.5)4? or is it (1.5)2(1.5) - 2(1.5)4?
First option:
4.5/-12 = -0.375
Second option
4.5-12 = -7.5
Answer:
number 1 + number 2 + number 3 = 15
Number 1 = x + 12
Number 2 = x - 12
Number 3 = x
(x + 12) + (x - 12) + x = 15
x + 12 + x - 12 + x = 15
x + x + x +12 -12 = 15
3x = 15
x = 15/3 = 5
Check:
Number 1 = 17
Number 2 = 5 -12 = -7
Number = 5
number 1 + number 2 + number 3 = 15
17 + (-7) + 5 = 15
10 + 5 = 15
15 = 15
Answer is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
We are first ask to translate this equation. So using the correct notation...
3X-9=6x6/4
We can also solve it.
3x-9 = 6x6/4
3x-9 = 36/4
3x-9 = 9
3x = 18
x=6
answer: X=6
