Answer:

The value of x is 7 when HJ = 7x - 27.

What are Arithmetic operations?

Arithmetic operations can also be specified by subtracting, dividing, and multiplying built-in functions. The operator that performs the arithmetic operation is called the arithmetic operator.

- Subtraction operation: Subtracts the right-hand operand from the left-hand operand.

for example 12 -2 = 10

Given that HJ = 7x - 27

To determine the value of x.

HI = 3x - 5 and IJ = x - 1

Here HJ = HI + IJ

Substitute the values of HI and IJ,

⇒ 7x - 27 = 3x - 5 + x - 1

Rearrange the likewise terms and apply the arithmetic operations

⇒ 7x - 4x = 27 - 5 - 1

⇒ 3x = 21

⇒ x = 21/3

Divided by 3

⇒ x = 7
