-9(x+8)+81=13-10x
what does x equal?

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distributive property.

-9x + -72 + 81 = 13 - 10x

Add -72 and 81.

-9x + 8 = 13 - 10x.

Cancel out the -9x

-9x + 9x + 8 = 13 - 10x + 9x.

8 = 13 - x

8 - 13 = 13 - 13 - x

-5 = -x

We can't have a negative x so negate the whole equation.

x = 5

Hope this helps

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer

step-by-step explanation: given equation a = h(b 1+b 2)

also we are given values of a, h and b 1 as :

a = 16, h = 4, and b 1 = 3.

in order to solve it for b 2, we need to plug the given values of   a, h and b 1 .

therefore, plugging values of   a, h and b 1   in given equation, we get

16 = 4( 3 + b 2)

first dividing both sides by 4, we get

4 = 3 + b 2

subtracting 3 from both sides, we get

4 -3 = 3 -3 + b 2

1 = b 2.
