Question

4a + 4a + 5a + x = 360

Answer 1

To solve for x, we need to combine the like terms on the left-hand side of the equation and then isolate x on one side of the equation.

4a + 4a + 5a + x = 360

Combining like terms:

13a + x = 360

To isolate x, we need to subtract 13a from both sides of the equation:

x = 360 - 13a

Therefore, x is equal to 360 minus 13 times a.
