Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Let the number be x:</u>
- 2x = 5x + 12
- 2x - 5x = 12
- -3x = 12
- x = -4
It is -4
Answer:
1 . 24
2. 21
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
b=6
h=4
A= b*h
=6*4
=24
2. b=6
h= 7
A= 1/2*b*h
= 1/2*6*7
=21
4/7 - x = 6/35
You're trying to get x by itself, so you have to subtract 4/7 from both sides.
-x = 6/35 - 4/7
You need both of the fractions to the right of the equal sign to have the same denominator so that we could simplify them, so multiply 5/5 to -4/7.
-4 /7 × 5/5 = -20/35
So, our new equation is :
-x = 6/35 - 20/35
Simplify.
-x = -14/35
Divide both sides by -1.
x = 14/35
Divide by 7.
x = 2/5
