Answer:
x = 13/3
Step-by-step explanation:
12(x - 1) = 40
Distribute
12x -12 = 40
Add 12 to each side
12x-12+12 = 40+12
12x = 52
Divide each side by 12
12x/12 =52/12
x =13/3
Answer:
around 2.67 (decimal form)
[tex] \frac{8}{3 } [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
12( x - 1 ) = 40 (given)
12x - 12 = 40 (distribute)
12x - 12 + 12 = 40 + 12 (add 12 both sides)
12x = 40 + 12 (cancel 12 left side)
52 (combine like terms)
12x = 52/12 (divide 12 both side)
x = 8/3 (answer)
Around 2.67 just in case questions ask for roundings...
