The value of x from the mgiven expressions above would be given below as follows:
6.) x = -28
7.) x = - 23
How to calculate the missing value of the given expressions?
To calculate the missing value of the given expression, the following steps should be taken as follows:
For question 6.)
¼x +17 = x-4
Bring like terms together;
¼x-x = -4-17
¾x = -21
x = -21×4/3
= -7×4
= -28
For question 7.)
3(2x +1) = 5(x-4)
6x + 3 = 5x - 20
6x-5x = -20-3
X = -23
