Question

What is the value ofx?

Answer 1

x= - 6

Explanation:

JH =15 units

=> JI+IH = 15units

=> (x+14)+(x+13)= 15 units

=> x +14+x+13= 15

=> 2x+ 27 = 15

=> 2x = 15-27

=> 2x = -12

=> x = -12/2

=> x= -6

Answer 2

The value of x is -6.

Explanation:

Given that the total distance between J and H is 15 units. So in order to find x, you have to add up both expressions equals to 15 :

`x + 14 + x + 13 = 15`

`2x + 27 = 15`

`2x = 15 - 27`

`2x = - 12`

`x = - 12 / 2`

`x = - 6`
