For x = ay - bz:
Add bz to both sides:
ay = x + bz
Divide a on both sides:
y = (x + bz)/a
For xy + yz = 10:
Distribute y from the left side:
y * (x + z) = 10
Divide by x + z:
y = 10/(x + z)
For (ab - ac)/z = x:
Multiply by z on both sides:
ab - ac = xz
Take out a from the left side:
a * (b - c) = xz
Divide by b - c on both sides:
a = xz/(b - c)
Find the answer to 2x and 5. Solve for X if possible.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 14
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Consecutive even numbers would be {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, ...}
Let x represent the smallest number, then x + 2 is the middle number and x + 4 is the largest number.
1st number: x
2nd number: x + 2
3rd number: x + 4
1st number + 2nd number + 3rd number = Sum
(x) + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 48
3x + 6 = 48
3x = 42
x = 14
1st number: x ⇒ x = 14
2nd number: x + 2 ⇒ 14 + 2 = 16
3rd number: x + 4 ⇒ 14 + 4 = 18
<u>Check:</u>
14 + 16 + 18 = 48
