Question

Solve for x - 10 = x-7 / 3

Answer 1

Answer: 23/2 or 11.5

Explanation:

x - 10 = (x - 7) / 3

3 (x - 10) = x - 7

3x - 30 = x - 7

3x - x = 30 - 7

2x = 23

x = 23/2 answer...

change it into decimal form

x = 11.5 answer...

note: 23/2 or 11.5 both could be the answers

hope that helps...

Answer 2

x = 23/2 or 11.5

Explanation:

Step 1: Multiply both sides by 3.

• 
  `3(x-10)= (x-7)/(3) *3`

• 
  `3x - 30 = x - 7`

Step 2: Subtract x from both sides.

• 
  `3x-30-x=x-7-x`
• 
  `2x-30=-7`

Step 3: Add 30 to both sides.

• 
  `2x-30+30=-7+30`
• 
  `2x=23`

Step 4: Divide both sides by 2.

• 
  `2x/2 = 23/2`
• 
  `x = 23/2 = 11.5`

Therefore, x = 23/2 or 11.5.
