Answer:

  • 17 units.

Explanation:

We know that:

  • MS = SP

Given:

  • MS = 3x + 5
  • SP = 6x - 7

Solution:

  • 3x + 5 = 6x - 7

Taking the "-7" on the LHS and the "3x" on the RHS:

  • => 7 + 5 = 6x - 3x

Adding/Subtracting:

  • => 12 = 3x

Dividing:

  • => 3x/3 = 12/3
  • => x = 4

Now, let's substitute the value of x into the expression of SP.

  • 6x - 7
  • => 6(4) - 7
  • => 24 - 7
  • => 17 units.

Hence, the measure of SP is 17 units.

\\ \sf\longmapsto 3x+5=6x-7


\\ \sf\longmapsto 6x-3x=5+7


\\ \sf\longmapsto 3x=12


\\ \sf\longmapsto x=4

  • SP=6(4)-7=24-7=17
