What value will complete the set of equations 153x−9−4=12

and x≠
_____?(1 point)

1 answer

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

  1. Combine like terms on the left side:

    \[ 153x - 13 = 12 \]

  2. Now, add 13 to both sides of the equation:

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

  3. Finally, divide both sides by 153 to solve for \( x \):

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

Now, we must state the value of \( x \neq \) something to complete the statement. Since any value can be used except the value we found, we can write:

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

Therefore, the final answer is:

\[ \boxed{\frac{25}{153}} \]
