Question

Find the values of x in this equation: x -15/x= 2
A. -7,3
B. -5,2
C. -7,5
D. -2,5
E. -3,5

Answer 1

Multiply by the reciprocal
x-15/x=x/x-15
Once you do that you get this
\[\huge~\rm~x−15=2x \]
Can you solve for x and tell me what you get? :)

Answer 2

15=x?

Answer 3

Hmm you seemed to have made an error can you show how you got that?

Answer 4

I look the x and subractted it on both sides

Answer 5

ok so
-15=3x

Answer 6

x - 15 = 2x.....try subtracting x from both sides...and don't forget the signs

Answer 7

Whats next?

Answer 8

Divide 3x/-15

Answer 9

And what do you get?

Answer 10

wait..where are you getting the 3x

Answer 11

-5, so the answer is B?

Answer 12

Wait
2-1-1x
x−15=2x
-15=1x
divide from here sorry for the msitake

Answer 13

*mistake

Answer 14

Thats not getting me an answer

Answer 15

-15/1=?

Answer 16

-15

Answer 17

you could just try subbing in your answer choices to see which one is true

Answer 18

Good so x=-15

Answer 19

I tried that nothing came out to 2

Answer 20

o.O
it wants the values of x
A.
-7 -15/3= 2
Is this true or false?

Answer 21

I guess its true

Answer 22

Dont guess try it out
-7-15=?

Answer 23

2

Answer 24

we are subtracting 15 from -7
-7 - 15 =?

Answer 25

The problem might be confusing x - 15 OVER x = 2

Answer 26

I took option A (the values of x)
And plugged them in for you

Answer 27

this makes no sense...your answer will never come out to be 2 because you are dividing a negative by a positive...resulting in a negative

Answer 28

Well its a question sadly, I subbed them all in everyway i could and never got 2

Answer 29

wow...is this an online assignment? Is there a none of the above option?

Answer 30

Yes, and yes

Answer 31

Then just hit none of the above :P

Answer 32

Opps no for the second one

Answer 33

Answer 34

Did you mistype anything?

Answer 35

Nope I hit E and went on

Answer 36

Answer 37

Is this the question?
\(\dfrac{x-15}{x}=2\)

Answer 38

Answer 39

Answer 40

I have plenty more questions to lol

Answer 41

E is correct

Answer 42

x - (15/x) = 2
x^2 - 15 = 2x
x^2 - 2x - 15 = 0
(x - 5)(x + 3) = 0
x = -3, 5

Answer 43

(x - 15) / x = 2/1
cross multiply
2x = x - 15
x = -15

I don't see any other answer it could be....oh....is it written like pooja wrote ?

Answer 44

It should have been written that way .-. that's the only possible answer

Answer 45

no, she said it was (x-15)/x...

Answer 46

that's the only way we can get an answer though

Answer 47

So congrats you got it correct! :D
