Explanation:


\textsf{For this problem, we are asked to create an equation for x, and to solve it.}


\textsf{There's an infinite amount of equations that we can create, but let's keep it simple.}


\large\underline{\textsf{Example:}}


\mathtt{9x+5x= 70}


\textsf{Let's begin solving for x since we've just created an equation.}


\large\underline{\textsf{Solving:}}


\textsf{This equation involves combining like terms.}


\Large\underline{\textsf{What are Like Terms?}}


\textsf{Like terms are 2 or more terms that have similar \underline{whole numbers, variables, and/or exponents}.}


\textsf{For this specific equation, 9x and 5x are like terms.}


\large\underline{\textsf{Combine Like Terms:}}


\mathtt{9x+5x= 70}


\mathtt{14x= 70}


\large\underline{\textsf{Divide by 5 to find x:}}


\mathtt{(14x)/(14)=(70)/(14) }


\large\boxed{\mathtt{x=5}}
