Problem 16
Work Shown:
[tex]2ax - 5x = 2\\\\x(2a - 5) = 2\\\\x = \frac{2}{2a-5}\\\\[/tex]
I factored out x, then divided both sides by (2a-5)
=========================================================
Problem 17
Work Shown:
1 yard = 3 feet
1/3 yard = 1 foot
x/3 yards = x feet
In the second step, I divided both sides by 3. Afterward, I multiplied both sides by x.
