Answer 9

no no

Answer 10

okay wait.

Answer 11

what is it then

Answer 12

the answers given do not make sense with the problem. the answer for x should be seven because 7/1=7 therefore x should be 7 but there isn't that choice so that is kind of confusing.

Answer 18

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
x/2−3=7
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
x/2−3=7
Let's simplify step-by-step.
x/2−3=7
1/2x+−3=7
1/2x−3=7
Step 2: Add 3 to both sides.
1/2x−3+3=7+3
1/2x=10
Step 3: Multiply both sides by 2.
2*(1/2x)=(2)*(10)
x=20
