23
because
the pattern is
(5 10) ..1.. (15 20) ..2.. (25 30) ..3..
..1... = 3
..2.. = 13
so ..3.. = 23

x=-2
Answer:
<em>See below</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
In this example we are to consider the equation 2x - 5 = 4x + 12, and are asked to solve for x. Well let us take the first approach, a mathematical one;

Now consider the explanation, " talking over a phone to a friend. "
First you would subtract 2x on either side of the equation, canceling the 2x on one side, and subtracting 2x from 4x on the other, resulting in the simplified equation - 5 = 2x + 12. Subtracting 12 from either side we cancel the 12 on one side, and subtract - 12 and - 5 on the other. We now get - 17 = 2x. Dividing 2 on either side, x = - 8.5!
