Question

Solve for x
8x+16 9x+11

Answer 1

To solve the equation 8x+16+9x+11=180, add 8x and 9x to both sides to get 17x+27=180. Subtract 27 from both sides to get 17x=153. Divide both sides by 17 to get x=9.

Answer 2

x = 9

Explanation:

(8x+16) + (9x+11) = 180

17x + 27 = 180

180 - 27 = 153

17x = 153

153/17 = 9

x = 9
