Question

If the m<1 = 17x - 30, and the <2 = 7x + 18, what is the value of x?

Answer 1

X=8

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

17x−30+7x+18=180

17x+−30+7x+18=180

(17x+7x)+(−30+18)=180(Combine Like Terms)

24x+−12=180

24x−12=180

Step 2: Add 12 to both sides.

24x−12+12=180+12

24x=192

Step 3: Divide both sides by 24.

X=8
