What is the value of x? 3x-14+2x+9=90
This goes back to Algebra problem. First, arrange the equation from
3x-14+2x+9=90 to...
3x+2x-14+9=90.
Combine the like terms.
3x+2x=5x.
-14+9=-5.
So it ends up like this: 5x-5=90. Add 5 on each side, so it would be come
5x=95. Remember that u always do the opposite of what it is doing: as it is
subtraction, u make it addition. If you want to ask why, don't ask me :D.
5x=95. Now DIVIDE 5 on each side. In the end, you will end up with x=19.
So, x=19.
Now... to check: 3(19)-14+2(19)+9=90. Multiplication first. 19x3=57. 19x2=38.
So it ends up with: 57-14+38+9=90. Add em' all up. 57-14=43+38=81+9=90.
90=90. So answer is x=19. Still confused? Well... you shouldn't be.
