Question

19x+rx= -37x+w what is the x

Answer 1

x = w / (56 + r)

Explanation:

Given the equation :

19x + rx= -37x + w ; find x

Collecting like terms

19x + rx + 37x = w

Factorizing x in the Left hand side

x(19 + 37 + r) = w

x(56 + r) = w

Therefore we can obtain x by dividing both sides by (56 + r)

x(56 + r) / (56 + r) = w / (56 + r)

x = w / (56 + r)
