Answers & Comments
2x - 2 = 72
2x / 2= 72 + 2 /2
x = 37 kg ang mass ni hank
3x + 5 = 20
3x / 3 = 20 - 5 / 3
x = 5 is the number
4x - 2x = 5
4x - 2x = 5
2x/2 = 5/2
x = 5/2 or 5.5 years old
5 + 3x - 2x = 60
3x - 2x = 60 - 5
x = 55 kg ang mass ni Mar
7x - 16 = 264
7x = 264 + 16
7x/7 = 280/7
x = 40 sandwiches
