3×_5=16 and 3×=21 the first equation is a true statement for a certain value of x.

can you explain why the second equation must also be true for the same value of x?

We conclude that the second equation must also be true for the same value of x because the value x = 7 satisfies the 2nd equation too.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the first equation

Add 5 to both sides

simplify

Divide both sides by 3

simplify

Thus, x = 7 is a value that satisfies the first equation.

Now, put x = 7 in the 2nd question to check whether x = 7 satisfies the equation or not.

3x = 21

3(7) = 21         ∵ x = 7

21 = 21

Thus, x = 7 also satisfies the 2nd equation.

Therefore, we conclude that the second equation must also be true for the same value of x because the value x = 7 satisfies the 2nd equation too.

47.28 or 47.2857143

step-by-step explanation:

you just divide 331 by 7 and you get that answer. ( i think so tho)
