3x - 5 = 2x + 7 i call the number "x"
3x = 2x + 12
1x = 12
x = 12 the number is 12
Can you list the factors of each of those numbers (the numbers that divide evenly into them)? Of those three lists, what's the highest number present in all three?
Answer: For question 2 I think it would be C
Step-by-step explanation:
This could mean two things from how you’ve written it.
It could mean there is an X with the denominator 4 or it could mean there’s an X with the denominator 4-7.
I am going to work with the first one and assume the 7 is separate. Apologies if that is incorrect.
First, I would add the 7 to both sides.
This leaves you with X/4 = 4
Then, multiply both sides by 4, to get X on its own.
This leaves X=16, which is the answer.
