Answer:
b.) [tex]6x+2=4x+7[/tex] , x=2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be 'x'
So, the equation according to the statement is :
[tex]6x+2=4x+7[/tex]
Solving the equation:
[tex]6x-4x=7-2\\\\2x= 5\\\\x=\frac{5}{2} \\\\x=2.5[/tex]
The Equation for the statement is [tex]6x+2=4x+7[/tex] with [tex]x=2.5[/tex].
Answer:
b. 6x + 2 = 7 + 4x, 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be represented by x.
Then 6 times the number plus 2 is expressed as [tex]\[6x+2\][/tex]
Similarly 4 times the number plus 7 is expressed as [tex]\[4x+7\][/tex]
It is given that 6 times the number plus 2 is equal to 4 times the number plus 7.
[tex]\[=> 6x+2=4x+7\][/tex]
Solving the equation,
[tex]\[=> 6x-4x=7-2\][/tex]
[tex]\[=> 2x=5\][/tex]
[tex]\[=> x=2.5\][/tex]
Hence the required number is 2.5 and the correct option is given by b.
