Respuesta :

Answer:17

Step-by-step explanation:

You just follow the steps

The value x=4.5 makes the statement true.

Given that,

Subtracting 1 from the product of 5 and x gives the same value as adding 10 to the product of 3 and X

We have to find the value of x

What is the product of 5 and x?

[tex]5x[/tex]

Subtracting one from  of 5x  we will get

[tex]1-5x[/tex].......(1)

Now next,

adding 10 to the product of 3 and x

So,

product of 3 and x is 3x

we add 10 into 3x we will get,

[tex]10+3x[/tex].....(2)

Equating equation 1 and equation 2 we will get

[tex]1-5x=10+3x\\\\1-10=3x-5x\\\\-9=-2x\\\\x=\frac{-9}{-2} \\\\x=4.5[/tex]

Therefore,

x=4.5 makes the statement true.
