Math Problem Statement

1) 3x - 12x - 4x + x 2) x / -7 = -8 3) 4 / x = 12 4) 1/2x + 3/5x = 18

Solution

I see that you've uploaded a math problem set. Let’s go through each of these problems one by one and solve them:


1) Solve: 3x12x4x+x3x - 12x - 4x + x

Simplify the expression:

3x12x4x+x=(3124+1)x=12x3x - 12x - 4x + x = (3 - 12 - 4 + 1)x = -12x

So, the solution is:

12x-12x


2) Solve: x7=8\frac{x}{-7} = -8

To isolate xx, multiply both sides by 7-7:

x=8×(7)=56x = -8 \times (-7) = 56


3) Solve: 4x=12\frac{4}{x} = 12

Multiply both sides by xx:

4=12x4 = 12x

Now divide by 12:

x=412=13x = \frac{4}{12} = \frac{1}{3}


4) Solve: 12x+35x=18\frac{1}{2}x + \frac{3}{5}x = 18

Find a common denominator for the fractions. The common denominator of 2 and 5 is 10. Rewrite the equation:

510x+610x=18\frac{5}{10}x + \frac{6}{10}x = 18

Now combine the terms:

1110x=18\frac{11}{10}x = 18

Multiply both sides by 10:

11x=18011x = 180

Now divide by 11:

x=1801116.36x = \frac{180}{11} \approx 16.36
