Question

I need help I don't understand it at all

Answer 1

Answer: X = 9

Step-by-step explanation: basically you solve it just like any other algebra equation. The only difference is that you have x’s on both sides. You have to move one of them over. I move the x to the right and I added it to the left side. 5x plus x is 6x. ( in case you didn’t already know an x never stands alone when you see one alone it always has an imaginary 1 beside it.) after I did that I tried to isolate 6x so I added 31 to 23. 31 plus 23 equals 54. I then had the equation 6x=54. The next thing I wanted to do was to isolate the x. I then dived 6 on both sides and got x= 9

Answer 2

x = 9

Explanation:

Given

5x - 31 = 23 - x ( add x to both sides )

6x - 31 = 23 ( add 31 to both sides )

6x = 54 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 9
