Answer:
x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there!
In order to solve this equation, you need to combine like terms
The equation after combining the x terms and the contants will look like this
10x+3=12x+7
Now you have to take 10x away from both sides
3=2x+7
Now bring all the constants to the left side
3-7=2x
Simplify
-4=2x
divide 2 on both sides to get x by itself
x=-2
So, the answer is x=-2
54 = 3x + 37.5 <== ur equation....and x = number of years
54 - 37.5 = 3x
16.5 = 3x
16.5 / 3 = x
5.5 = x......so it would take 5.5 years...or 5 1/2 years <=
3x + 4 = 2x + 27
3x - 2x = 27 - 4
x = 23 <==
Answer:
x=15
Because 3x15=45
Hope that helped!
