"of" means multiply and "is" means equal
1. x = 14
x = 14(3) <em>multiply both sides by 3 to isolate "x"</em>
x = 42
2. x = 14
x = 14(5) <em>multiply both sides by 5 to isolate "x"</em>
x = 70
3. x = 14
2x = 14(5) <em>multiply both sides by 5 </em>
2x = 70
x = 35 <em>divide both sides by 2 to isolate "x"</em>
4. x = 14
7x = 14(8) <em>multiply both sides by 8 </em>
7x = 112
x = 16 <em>divide both sides by 7 to isolate "x"</em>
Answers: 42, 70, 35, 16

Step-by-step explanation:
5/6 divided by 5 is 1/6
Answer:
ST = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Line segment RS and segment ST must add up to line segment RT
Step 1: Define
RS = 17
ST = x + 6
RT = 3x - 5
Step 2: Set up equation
mRS + mST = mRT
17 + x + 6 = 3x - 5
Step 3: Solve for <em>x</em>
x + 23 = 3x - 5
23 = 2x - 5
28 = 2x
x = 14
Step 3: Find mST
ST = x + 6
ST = 14 + 6
ST = 20
