Question

If LM = 9x + 27 and RS = 135, find x.

Answer 1

the boxes are equivalent so the one with a single dash is equal to the other with a single dash.

the one with 2 dashes is equal to the other with 2 dashes so on and so forth

SR=LM

LM=9x+27

RS=135

9x+27=135

so I solve it in my own weird way but you can solve it differently. 135-27=108

108/9=12

so your answer is 12

Answer 2

x=12

Explanation:

LM = RS

9x+27 = 135

Subtract 27 from each side

9x+27-27 =135-27

9x=108

Divide each side by 9

9x/9 = 108/9

x = 12
