Answer:

-69

Explanation:

inches:-69

-5 9/12 (-5 3/4 clearer) feet

Explanation in detail:

Write the equation down and distribute it.

3x - 1 = 2(x + 34)

3x - 1 = 2x + 68

Remove the variable on one side first (it makes solving the equation less complicated.)

3x - 1 = 2x + 68

-3x -3x

-1 = -x + 68

On all sides, subtract 68.

-1 = -x + 68

-68 -68

-69 = x

I'm guessing the answer in feet and inches is...

inches:-69

-5 9/12 (-5 3/4 simplified) feet
