Question 2

Answer:

-3.21538461538

Explanation:

$\mathrm{Equation\;Given:}\; 5+5x=(12x-(12)/(5)\cdot \:7)/(5)$

$\mathrm{Multiply\;both\;sides\;by\;5}:$
$5\cdot \:5+5x\cdot \:5=(12x-(12)/(5)\cdot \:7)/(5)\cdot \:5$

$\mathrm{Now\;we\;have\;}:$
25+25x=12x-(84)/(5)

$\mathrm{Subtract\;by\;sides\;by\;25}:$
25+25x-25=12x-(84)/(5)-25

$\mathrm{Thus\;we\;have}:$
25x=12x-(209)/(5)

$\mathrm{Subtracting\;12x\;from\;both\;sides}:$
25x-12x=12x-(209)/(5)-12x

$\mathrm{So\;then\;we\;have:}$
13x=-(209)/(5)

$\mathrm{Now\;divide\;both\;sides\;by\;13}:$
(13x)/(13)=(-(209)/(5))/(13)

$\mathrm{Hence\;we\;have}:\;\;x=-(209)/(65)$

$\mathrm{Decimal\;form}:-3.21538461538$
