Step-by-step explanation:
step 1. 12x - 15 - 12x = 7x + 20
step 2. 12x - 12x - 15 = 7x + 20 (grouping of terms)
step 3. -15 = 7x + 20 (adding like terms)
step 4. -35 = 7x (subtract 20 from both sides)
step 5. this step is incorrect.
step 6. -5 = x ( divide both sides by 7)
step 7. x = -5 (put the variable first).
Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Subtract 5x from both sides.
Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.
Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.
Step 4: Check if solution is correct.
Therefore, x = 8.
Answer:
8 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that 96 sq. feet of tile is bought to retile the bathroom.
It means area of bathroom is 9
6 sq. feet
Width of bathroom be x
Given that the length of the bathroom is one and a half times the width
Length of bathroom in term sod width = 1 1/2* x = 3/2 x
we know area of rectangle is given by length * width
therefore area of bathroom =( x* 3/2 x) = 3/2 x^2
Also area of bathroom is 86 sq. feet, therefore

Thus, width of bathroom is 8 feet.
