Which value for x makes the sentence true?

Answer 1

In order for the statement to be true, the value of x has to be 19.

Explanation:

3(x - 3) - 16 = 2(x - 8) + 10

3x - 9 - 16 = 2x - 16 + 10

3x - 25 = 2x - 6

x - 25 = - 6

x = 19

Answer 2

b) 19

Explanation:

Let's solve the problem,

→ 3(x - 3) - 16 = 2(x - 8) + 10

→ 3x - 9 - 16 = 2x - 16 + 10

→ 3x - 25 = 2x - 6

→ 3x - 2x = -6 + 25

→ [ x = 19 ]

Hence, option (b) is correct.
