Answer:
x=9
Step-by-step explanation:
3x-2=25
Add 2 to each side
3x-2+2=25+2
3x = 27
Divide by 3
3x/3 = 27/3
x = 9
7.98+4.89+5.12=17.99 so the estimate would be 18.
Factor the quadratic equation (3x-4)(x+3). Then set the factors equal to zero.
3x-4=0, solve to get 4/3
x+3=0 x=-3

After solving I have come up with 6 2/9 or 6.22222.
