Question

18n + 12 = 27n + 3

5(x + 7) = 6(x - 5)

Solve for the variables SHOW WORK

Answer 1

18n + 12 = 27n + 3

12-3=27n-18n

9=9n

n=9/9=1

5(x + 7) = 6(x - 5)

5x+35=6x-30

35+30=6x-5x

65=x

:.x=65

Answer 2

• n = 1
• x = 65

Explanation:

Given

• 18n + 12 = 27n + 3
• 5(x + 7) = 6(x - 5)

Solving for variables

1

• 18n + 12 = 27n + 3
• 18n - 27n = 3 - 12
• -9n = -9
• n = -9/-9
• n = 1

2

• 5(x + 7) = 6(x - 5)
• 5x + 35 = 6x - 30
• 5x - 6x = -30 - 35
• -x = -65
• x = 65
