"The product" means you're multiplying the two numbers.
"a number" refers to a variable.
"increased" means you're adding.
2x + 7 = -36
5/8 9/x
Cross multiply
9x8=72
5×x=5x
Rewrite the equation
72 = 5x
Divide by 5
72÷5=14.4
So, x=14.4
Answer:
x = 14 is your answer
Step-by-step explanation:
76 = 7x-22, so to figure it out, you first move -22 to the other side and get
76+22 = 7x.
add them together and you get 98 = 7x
7x would be your equation, so divide 98 by 7 and you get your solution
x = 14 is your answer
