Abraham Lincoln, i've read that story a long time ago myself and I remember who said that.
Answer:
x = 71/5 (as an improper fraction)
x = 14 1/5 (as a proper fraction
x = 14.2 (as a decimal)
Step-by-step explanation:
It's a rectangle so the diagonals are equal
7x - 9 = 2x + 62
Subtract 2x from both sides
5x - 9 = 62
Add 9 to both sides
5x = 71
Divide both sides by 5
x = 71/5 (as an improper fraction)
x = 14 1/5 (as a proper fraction
x = 14.2 (as a decimal)
Answer: 8(4) - 10 equals to 22 :)
