For each equation given below, write ONE related equation. a) x + 5 = 18 b) 66x =330

x = 13 ; x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest related equation to get is simply solving for x:

a) x + 5 = 18

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Subtract 5 from both sides:

x + 5 (-5) = 18 (-5)

x = 18 - 5

x = 13*

b) 66x = 330

Isolate the variable, x. Divide 66 from both sides of the equation:

(66x)/66 = (330)/66

x = 330/66

x = 5*

*Note: An equation simply is a expression that has an equal sign. This means that as long as there is an equal sign, it counts as an equation.

6.3 trees.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Meryl needs to cut down 10.5 trees for every 5 cabins she builds.

Let us find the number of trees Meryl needs to cut down to build 1 cabin by dividing 10.5 by 5.

Now let us multiply 2.1 by 3 to find the number of trees Meryl needs to cut down to build 3 cabins.

Therefore, Meryl needs to cut down 6.3 trees, if she builds 3 cabins.
