51 - x = 24 Add 'x' to both sides 51 -x + x = 24 + x -x + x = 0 Hence 51 = 24 + x Subtract 24 from both sides 51 - 24 = 24 - 24 + x 24 - 24 = 0 51 - 24 = x x = 27
1 x 51, 3 x 17, 17 x 3, 51 x 1
1 x 51, 3 x 17
It is: x+27 = 51 and x = 24
If x + 51 equals 17, then x must be negative. (If we are going to add 51 to some number and only get 17, an number less than 51, then we had to start at a negative number for this to happen.) Let's work through this one.x + 51 = 17x = 17 - 51 (we subtracted 51 from both sides of the equation)x = -34 (we have arrived at the answer)
x = -51 -x = 51
1 x 51, 3 x 17, 17 x 3, 51 x 1
1 x 51, 3 x 17, 17 x 3, 51 x 1 = 51
1 x 51, 3 x 17, 17 x 3, 51 x 1 = 51
51 - x = 24 Add 'x' to both sides 51 -x + x = 24 + x -x + x = 0 Hence 51 = 24 + x Subtract 24 from both sides 51 - 24 = 24 - 24 + x 24 - 24 = 0 51 - 24 = x x = 27
1 x 51, 3 x 17, 17 x 3, 51 x 1
1 x 51, 3 x 17, 17 x 3, 51 x 1
1 x 51, 3 x 17, 17 x 3, 51 x 1
1 x 51, 3 x 17 = 51
1 x 51 = 51 3 x 17 = 51
10% off of 51= 10% discount applied to 51= 51 - (10% x 51)= 51 - (0.10 x 51)= 51 - 5.1= 45.9
1 x 51, 3 x 17.
