Answer:
inches:-69
feet:-5 9/12 (-5 3/4 simplified)
Explanation:
Write out the equation and distribute.
3x – 1 = 2(x + 34)
3x - 1 = 2x + 68
Get rid of the variable on one side first (it makes solving the equation less complicated.)
3x - 1 = 2x + 68
-3x -3x
-1 = -x + 68
Subtract 68 on both sides.
-1 = -x + 68
-68 -68
-69 = x
I'm guessing that the answer in feet and inches would be...
inches:-69
feet:-5 9/12 (-5 3/4 simplified)
I'm not sure how feet and inches can be negative, but that's what I got for the answer...hope this helps! Have an amazing day C:
