Answer:
X = 17
Explanation:
Since M = N then,
(3x - 22) = (2x-5)
What we can do next is get the X's on one side and the numbers on the other side of the equal sign
Let's subtract 2x from both sides
3x - 2x is just X, so
X - 22 = -5
Now we can add 22 to both sides. -5+22 = 17
X = 17
Plug in 17 to make sure
(3x - 22) = 3(17)-22 = 51-22 = 29
(2x-5) = 2(17)-5 = 34 - 5 = 29
