Since this is a proportion, we cross multiply.
12/2=9/x (The variable "x" is used the represent the unknown number, and this is the number we are solving for)
12*x=2*9 (Cross multiply)
12x=18 (Simplify)
x=18/12 (Divide each side by 12)
x = 3/2 (Simplify fraction)
The unknown number is 3/2, or 1.5.
The objective is to get the variable (x) alone. To do this start be subtracting 3. What you do to one side you have to do to the other so you have to subtract three from the other side of the equal sign as well. So now you have:
20x= 17-3 subtract the 3 to get 20x=14
Now because the 20 is attached to the x In order to get the x alone you have to divide by 20:
20x/20. =14/20 divide 14 by 20
X=.7 or x=7/10
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of a straight line
y = mx + c, m is the slope, and c the intercept
points (3,7) x = 3, y = 7, c = 1
7 = m × 3 + 1
7 = 3m + 1
3m = 7 - 1
3m = 6
m = 6/3
m = 2
You first identify what supplementary angles are,angles that add up to 180.
5x+2+8x+9=180
17x+11=180-11
17x=169
x=169divided by 17
x=9.9411
x=10 when rounded into the next value
8x*10=80+989
