Respuesta :
NM + MO = NO
17 + 3x - 5 = 5x + 2
Combine like terms (17 - 5)
12 + 3x = 5x + 2
Subtract 3x from both sides (3x - 3x) (5x - 3x)
12 = 2x + 2
Subtract 2 from both sides (2 - 2) (12 - 2)
10 = 2x
Divide 2 from both sides (2/2) (10/2)
X = 5
NO = 5x + 2
NO = 5(5) + 2
NO = 25 + 2
NO = 27
17 + 3x - 5 = 5x + 2
Combine like terms (17 - 5)
12 + 3x = 5x + 2
Subtract 3x from both sides (3x - 3x) (5x - 3x)
12 = 2x + 2
Subtract 2 from both sides (2 - 2) (12 - 2)
10 = 2x
Divide 2 from both sides (2/2) (10/2)
X = 5
NO = 5x + 2
NO = 5(5) + 2
NO = 25 + 2
NO = 27
Answer:
NO = 27
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that M is between NO , then
NO = NM + MO , that is
5x + 2 = 17 + 3x - 5
5x + 2 = 3x + 12 ( subtract 3x from both sides )
2x + 2 = 12 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
2x = 10 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 5
Then
NO = 5x + 2 = 5(5) + 2 = 25 + 2 = 27
