Question

What is the value of x in the diagram?

Answer 1

Answer: x=6

Explanation:

Set both equations equal to eachother and solve for x, you get x=6.

Answer 2

x = 6

Explanation:

Step 1: Make an expression

5x - 6 = 11x - 42

Step 2: Subtract 5x from both sides

5x - 6 - 5x = 11x - 42 - 5x

-6 = 6x - 42

Step 3: Add 42 to both sides

-6 + 42 = 6x - 42 + 42

36 = 6x

Step 4: Divide both sides by 6

36 / 6 = 6x / 6

6 = x

Answer: x = 6
