Question

The distance on a numberline from -10 to 3 is equal to 5x-12.

What is the equation you would use to solve for x?

AND What is the value of x?

Answer 1

1. 13
2. x = 5

Explanation:

To find the total distance, we can add.

10 + 3 = 13

Now, we can use 13 to solve for the equation that is the same.

5x - 12 = 13

5x = 25

x = 5

Best of Luck!
