STOP2 + 181219PART A Rewrite the equation so that there are no fractions.

Answer 1

• x+18=38

,

• x=20

Explanation:

Given the equation:

`(x+18)/(19)=2`

Part A

To rewrite the equations without fractions, cross multiply.

`\begin{gathered} x+18=19*2 \\ \implies x+18=38 \end{gathered}`

Part B

Subtract 18 from both sides of the equation above to solve for x.

`\begin{gathered} x+18-18=38-18 \\ x=20 \end{gathered}`

The value of x is 20.
