Question

What value will complete the set of equations 153x−9−4=12153x−9−4=12 and x≠x≠_____?(1 point)

The value that completes the set of equations is x≠x≠.

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 153x - 9 - 4 = 12 \), we first simplify the left side:

1. Combine \(-9\) and \(-4\):
\[
153x - 9 - 4 = 153x - 13
\]
So the equation simplifies to:
\[
153x - 13 = 12
\]

2. Add 13 to both sides:
\[
153x = 12 + 13
\]
\[
153x = 25
\]

3. Divide both sides by 153:
\[
x = \frac{25}{153}
\]

Therefore, the value that completes the set of equations is \( x \neq \frac{25}{153} \).

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