Answer:
Problem one:
let the variable be x:
[tex]{ \tt{2x = 169}}[/tex]
• apply division property of equality:
[tex]{ \tt{ \underline{ \: \: x = 84 \frac{1}{2} \: \: }}}[/tex]
Problem two:
let the variable be y
[tex]{ \tt{3y = - 125}}[/tex]
• apply division property of equality:
[tex]{ \tt{ \underline{ \: \: x = - 41.67 \: }}}[/tex]
