Question

What value will complete the set of equations 153x−9−4=12 and x≠ _____?(1 point) The value that completes the set of equations is x≠___

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 153x - 9 - 4 = 12 \), we first simplify it.

Combine the constants on the left side:

\[
153x - 13 = 12
\]

Next, we add 13 to both sides of the equation:

\[
153x = 12 + 13
\]
\[
153x = 25
\]

Now, we divide both sides by 153:

\[
x = \frac{25}{153}
\]

The question asks for the value that completes the set of equations in the form \( x \neq \_\_\_\_ \).

Since no values were excluded in the given equation, we simply note that \( x \) cannot take any other form. Hence, the value that completes the set of equations is:

\[
x \neq \frac{25}{153}
\]

So, the answer is \( x \neq \frac{25}{153} \).
