Question

Find the value of x. Be sure to show your work. Pleaseeee

Answer 1

x = 37

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

540=142+2x+2x+3x+14+3x+14

540=(2x+2x+3x+3x)+(142+14+14)(Combine Like Terms)

540=10x+170

Step 2: Flip the equation.

10x+170=540

Step 3: Subtract 170 from both sides.

10x+170−170=540−170

10x=370

Step 4: Divide both sides by 10.

10x/10 = 370/10

x = 37
