Solve the equation

Vx + 7 +5=9

a) -3 b) 9 c) 23 d) 16

Is your equation?

x + 7 + 5 = 9

Are you supposed to solve for x?

its a V x + 7 + 5=9

the V is the real root number its 2nd and x2 on the graphing calculator

I answered this yesterday.

Replacve 7 + 5 with 12 on the left side.
Then subtract 12 from both sides of the equation.

I am assuming your variable is "Vx". You can only solve for one unknown when you have one equation.

sqrt(x) + 7 + 5 = 9 ??? maybe?

sqrt(x) = -3
x = 9 ?
or did you leave some parentheses out?

Now that you have explained what your "V" means, sqrt x = -3 and x = 9

To solve the equation Vx + 7 + 5 = 9, we need to isolate Vx on one side of the equation.

First, combine like terms on the left side of the equation by adding 7 and 5. This gives us:
Vx + 12 = 9

Next, to isolate Vx, we can subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:
Vx + 12 - 12 = 9 - 12
Vx = -3

So, the value of Vx is -3. Therefore, the correct answer is option a) -3.
