Answer: 37

Explanation:

74=2x

37=x

You are trying to get X by itself. Since it's 2x usually you would multiply it but in this case, divide it by itself into both sides so 74 divide 2 equals 37. If you know the order of operations then reverse it.

I'm just confused about how the answer choices are only 108 and 18.

Answer:


\huge\boxed{\sf x = 37}

Explanation:

Since, vertically opposite angles are equal:

74 = 2x

Divide 2 to both sides

74 / 2 = x

37 = x

OR

x = 37


\rule[225]{225}{2}
