12x > 18x - 27 - 15
12x > 18x - 42
12x - 18x > -42
-6x > -42
x < -42/-6
two negatives make a positive so now its x < 42/6
Lastly divide 42/6 so it can equal 7
Answer: X < 7.
Given:
The equation is:
A model with 3 rows of 8 and 3 rows of 4.
To find:
The missing value in Ming's equation.
Solution:
We have,
...(i)
A model with 3 rows of 8 and 3 rows of 4. Using this information, we get
Taking out the common factor 3, we get
...(ii)
On comparing (i) and (ii), we get the missing value is 3.
Therefore, the missing value in Ming's equation is 3.
Answer:
No, I don't think so; an equation must have an equal sign in it. Expressions, however, do not have equal signs in them. Therefore I think 15 + k is an <em>expression</em>, not an equation. Hope this helps :)
