C x = 39
D x=323

Answer 1

the answer is x = 39 because 23 *39-5=21.

hope this helps

Answer 2

x=39

Explanation:

`(2)/(3) x-5=21`

To solve for x , we need to get 'x' alone

`(2)/(3) x-5=21`

Add 5 on both sides

`(2)/(3) x-5+5=21+5`

`(2)/(3) x=26`

Now to remove fraction , we flip the fraction and multiply it on both sides

`(2)/(3)  \cdot (3)/(2) x=26\cdot (3)/(2)`

x=39
