Question

Solve for x.
12
x+5
X =
15

Answer 1

Explanation:

4.2

12/(x+5) = 15

We can start by cross-multiplying:

12 = 15(x+5)

Then, we can distribute the 15:

12 = 15x + 75

Next, we can subtract 75 from both sides:

-63 = 15x

Finally, we can divide both sides by 15:

x = -63/15

Therefore, x = -4.2.
