Question

Pls help me solve for x


I don't get how to turn it into an equation either
​

Answer 1

x=7

Explanation:

Since (3x+10)+(x-2)= 36, that means (4x+10-2)=36

To solve, first combine like terms:

4x+10-2= 36 -------- 4x+8=36

Then subtract 8 from both sides:

4x+8= 36 ---------- 4x= 28

Then divide:

`(4x)/(4)`=
`(28)/(4)`

Simplify:

x=7

Check you work:

21+10= 31

7-2= 5

31+5= 36

Hope this helps! :)
