Answer:
X = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
First count the amount of X's. There are 5 and it is plus two. Both sides should be equal in value so you have to set up your equation.
5x + 2 = 17
Then Solve For X
5x + 2 = 17
Subtract 2 from both sides
5x = 15
Divide by 5
X = 3
Check your answer
5(3) +2 = 17
15 + 2 = 17
17 = 17
It is correct!
Answer:
42
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the original number of bushes in garden A
Let x-9 = the original number of bushes in garden B
x-9-3=x-12 = bushes in garden B after transplanting 3
x+3 = bushes in garden A after transplanting 3
x+3=1.5(x-12)
x+3=1.5x-18
0.5x=21
x=42
There were 42 current bushes in garden A
