Question

Can someone please tell me how to solve this?


`(2x + 10) + (86 + x)`
I have to find the value of x

Answer 1

Because this is an expression, you cannot solve for a value of x.

3x + 96

We can factor a 3 out of this to simplify it further.

3(x + 32) is the simplified form of the given expression.
