Answer:

x = 5

Explanation:

Simplifying 2x + -1 + 9x + 3 = 57

Reorder the terms: -1 + 3 + 2x + 9x = 57

Combine like terms: -1 + 3 = 2 2 + 2x + 9x = 57

Combine like terms: 2x + 9x = 11x 2 + 11x = 57

Solving 2 + 11x = 57

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2' to each side of the equation. 2 + -2 + 11x = 57 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0 0 + 11x = 57 + -2 11x = 57 + -2

Combine like terms: 57 + -2 = 55 11x = 55

Divide each side by '11'. x = 5

Simplifying x = 5

hope it helps
