Q. 72x+711x=53Given the equation, what is the value of 13x ?
Combine like terms: Combine like terms on the left side of the equation.We have (72)x+(711)x, which are like terms because they both have the variable x. To combine them, we add their coefficients.(72)x+(711)x=(72+711)x= (713)x
Set equal to right side: Set the combined expression equal to the right side of the equation.Now we have (713)x=(53).
Multiply by reciprocal: Solve for x by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of (13/7). To isolate x, we multiply both sides by 7/13. x=(3/5)×(7/13)
Calculate value of 13x: Perform the multiplication to solve for x.x=(5×13)(3×7)x=6521
Simplify expression for 13x: Calculate the value of 13x. To find 13x, we multiply x by 13. 13x=13×(6521)
Simplify the fraction: Simplify the expression for 13x. 13x=65(13×21)13x=65273
Simplify the fraction: Simplify the expression for 13x. 13x=(13×21)/65 13x=273/65 Simplify the fraction if possible. 273 and 65 have no common factors other than 1, so the fraction is already in its simplest form. 13x=273/65
