Answer: a. x=4 b. x=17.5
Step-by-step explanation:
a. 5x/2+1=11
subtract 1 from both sides : 5x/2=10
multiply both sides by 2 : 5x=20
divide both sides by 4 : x=4
b. 2x/7-3=2
add 3 to both sides : 2x/7=5
multiply both sides by 7 : 2x=35
divide both sides by 2 : x=17.5
If you use a proportion, you'll get:

Then, you use cross products:

Then, you algebraically solve x:

The answer is 5/3 inches , or 1 5/13 inches, or 1.6 repeating.
When it says to estimate, I always think of doing it by hand to show work. So set it up like this:
96
<u>x 34</u>
So follow it out multiplying across 4*6 and 4*9 carrying over as needed to get it to look like this:
96
<u>x 34</u>
384
Do the same for the 3 to get this:
96
<u>x 34</u>
384
2880
Add 384+2880=3264
Your final answer is 3,264
-1^3 - -1^2 +1= -1. ...........
