Write an algebraic equation for this tape diagram. Then determine the value of x. You may use a calculator.

3× + 16 = 22.75

3× = 22.75 - 16

3x = 6.75

3 3

x = 2.25

yes

step-by-step explanation:

so of course you want to start by plugging the 5 in which goes to 7(5)+3(5)=50 because 7*5=35 and 3*5=15 and then add them together, then plug in the 5 to the other equation as well 9(5)+5=50 because 9*5= 45 and then add 5 and so yes they are equivalent.
