You need to isolate x.
71 - 5x = 9x - 13
Add 13 to both sides.
84 - 5x = 9x
Add 5x to both sides.
84 = 14x
Divide both sides by 14.
6 = x
<h3>The answer is x = 6.</h3>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width of the rectangle = x
As length is 5 inches longer than width, we have to add 5 to width
Length = x + 5
Perimeter of ractangle = 56 in
2* (length + width) = 56
2*( x + 5 + x) = 56
2* (2x + 5) = 56
Use distributive property: a*(b +c) =(a*b) + (a * c)
2*2x + 2*5 = 56
4x + 10 = 56
Subtract 10 from both sides
4x = 56- 10
4x = 46
Divide both sides by 4
x = 46/4
x = 11.5
Width = 11.5 in
length = 11.5 + 5
= 16.5 in
7 and 10 is half
so we expect the people come to wedding half of 120÷2=60 people
i just try
4¹/₃x = ⁵/₁₂x - 6
3¹¹/₁₂x = -6
x = -1²⁵/₄₇
