Hey there!


• ORIGINAL EQUATION
3x - 5 + x = 31


• Conversion
3x - 5 + 1x = 31

• COMBINE the LIKE TERMS
4x - 5 = 31

• ADD 5 to BOTH SIDES
4x - 5 + 5 = 31 + 5
‣ CANCEL out: -5 + 5 because it give you 1
‣ KEEP: 31 + 5 because it help solve for the x-value

• NEW EQUATION
4x = 31 + 5

• SIMPLIFY IT!

4x = 36

• DIVIDE 4 to BOTH SIDES
4x/4 = 36/4
‣ CANCEL out: 4/4 because it give you 1
‣ KEEP: 36/4 because it help solve for the x-value

• NEW EQUATION
x = 36/4

• SIMPLIFY IT!

x = 9

Therefore, your answer is: x = 9



Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!

8. Find the value of x so that line mis parallel to line l. (1 p<br><br> (3x+21)°<br><br> (4x-7)
dybincka [34]

Answer: The value of x is 28.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since line m is parallel to line l.

So, we assume that

(3x+21)° and (4x-7)° are corresponding angles.

And we know that , corresponding angles formed when a transversal cut the  parallel line are equal.

So, they must be equal to each other.

3x+21=4x-7\\\\21+7=4x-3x\\\\28^\circ=x

Hence, the value of x is 28.

adam wants to compare the fractions 3/12,1/6, and 1/3.he wants to order them from least to greatest and rewrite them so they all
Digiron [165]
3/12 ; 1/6 ; 1/3

Adam must first get the least common multiple of each denominator.

12 : 12, 24, 36
  6 :  6, 12, 18
  3 :  3, 6, 9, 12

12 is the least common denominator. 

We, then, multiply each denominator by a number that will produce 12.

12 x 1 = 12
6 x 2 = 12
3 x 4 = 12

Each number multiplied to the denominator must be the number used to multiply each numerator.

3/12 * 1/1 = 3/12
1/6 * 2/2 =   2/12
1/3 * 4/4 =   4/12

Since they now share a common denominator, the numerator will become the basis of the fraction's value. The greater the numerator, the greater the fraction's value.

Fractions in order from least to greatest = 2/12 ; 3/12 ; 4/12

Substitute each fraction with its original fraction:
2/12 ⇒ 1/6   : least

3/12 ⇒ 3/12 : middle
4/12 ⇒ 1/3   : greatest
