Question

Find the value of x
(9x-38)+(4x+23)=180

Answer 1

x=15

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

9x−38+4x+23=180

9x+−38+4x+23=180

(9x+4x)+(−38+23)=180(Combine Like Terms)

13x+−15=180

13x−15=180

Step 2: Add 15 to both sides.

13x−15+15=180+15

13x=195

Step 3: Divide both sides by 13.

13x/13=195/13
