Question

The following 2 questions are based on the description below:When the quotient of x and 3 is combined with 12, the result is 10.Write a linear equation that accurately represents this description.

Answer 1

Given:

The quotient of x and 3 is combined with 12, the result is 10.

Let a be the quotient of x.

$\frac{a}{3}+12=10$$\frac{a}{3}=-2$$a=-6$

Linear equation :

$-6x+3=10$$6x+7=0$
