Question

The following 2 questions are based on the description below:When the quotient of x and 3 is combined with 12, the result is 10.Write a linear equation that accurately represents this description.

Answer 1

Given:

The quotient of x and 3 is combined with 12, the result is 10.

Let a be the quotient of x.

`(a)/(3)+12=10`
`(a)/(3)=-2`
`a=-6`

Linear equation :

`-6x+3=10`
`6x+7=0`
