12(x−13)=13(12−x) x=?

x = 12.48

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

12(x + -13) = 13(12 + -1x)

Reorder the terms:

12(-13 + x) = 13(12 + -1x)

(-13 * 12 + x * 12) = 13(12 + -1x)

(-156 + 12x) = 13(12 + -1x)

-156 + 12x = (12 * 13 + -1x * 13)

-156 + 12x = (156 + -13x)

Solving

-156 + 12x = 156 + -13x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '13x' to each side of the equation.

-156 + 12x + 13x = 156 + -13x + 13x

Combine like terms: 12x + 13x = 25x

-156 + 25x = 156 + -13x + 13x

Combine like terms: -13x + 13x = 0

-156 + 25x = 156 + 0

-156 + 25x = 156

Add '156' to each side of the equation.

-156 + 156 + 25x = 156 + 156

Combine like terms: -156 + 156 = 0

0 + 25x = 156 + 156

25x = 156 + 156

Combine like terms: 156 + 156 = 312

25x = 312

Divide each side by '25'.

x = 12.48

Simplifying

x = 12.48

the answer is d

step-by-step explanation:

total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $98

step-by-step explanation:

given a united states citizen returning to the states declares the following items at the customs office: 3 shirts at $8.50 each 2 dresses at $27.50 each 1 pair of gold cuff links at $17.50 per pair. we have to find how much he pay

cost of 3 shirts if one cost at $8.50 is

cost of 2 dresses if one cost at $27.50 is  

cost of 1 pair of gold cuff at $17.50

so, total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is   $25.5+$55+$17.50=$98
