Answer:


x=10

Explanation:

  • Simplify the expression

Add the numbers.


76=4x-1+2x+17


76=4x+16+2x

Combine like terms.


76=4x-1+2x=17


76=6x+16

  • Subtract 16 from both sides.


76-16=6x + 16 - 16

  • Simplify


60=6x

  • Divide by 6


(60)/(6) = (6x)/(6)

  • 6x and 6 cancel each other out.


60 ÷
6 = 10


10 = x

Hence,
x equals
10.

Hope it helped!
