Answer:

17

Explanation:

1) Find the value of x

To find the value of x when you given an answer in the equation we just need to work our way back

As we can see that in the question they have multiplied 4 by x to get 68. This means we have to divide 68 by 4 to get x

  • 68 ÷ 4 = 17

HINT:

Whenever you are given something like this where you have an equals sign and you have to find the value of something, always work your way back! Example if you need to add something to get x, just subtract it!!

Hope this helps, have a great day!
