Solve for x. 3x = 2 5 a) 1 4 b) 2 15 c) 5 6 eliminate d) 6 5

B) 2/15

Step-by-step explanation:

3x = 2/5

x = 2/5 : 3 = 2/5 * 1/3 = 2/15

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
