Question

X + (2x + 40) + (3x – 50) = 15,002

Answer 1

x = 2,502

Explanation:

x + (2x + 40) + (3x - 50) = 15,002

Combine Like Terms

6x -10 = 15,002

Add 10 on both sides of the equation

6x = 15,012

Divide both sides by 6

x = 2,502

Answer 2

x = 2,502

Explanation:

x + (2x + 40) + (3x – 50) = 15,002

~Combine like terms

6x - 10 = 15,002

~Add 10 to both sides

6x = 15,012

~Divide 6 to both sides

x = 2,502

Best of Luck!
