Problem one :2 = 169
Problem two :3 = −125

Answer 1

169/2 = 84.5

125/3=-41

Answer 2

Problem one:

let the variable be x:

`{ \tt{2x = 169}}`

• apply division property of equality:

`{ \tt{ \underline{ \: \: x = 84 (1)/(2) \: \: }}}`

Problem two:

let the variable be y

`{ \tt{3y = - 125}}`

• apply division property of equality:

`{ \tt{ \underline{ \: \: x = - 41.67 \: }}}`
