2x+(x-24)=90 what does x equal?
2x%2Bx-24=90
%282%2B1%29x-24=90
3x-24=90
3x-24%2B24=90%2B24
3x=114
3x%2F3=114%2F3
highlight%28x=38%29
Check by substituting x=38 into the original equation and simplifying to see if both sides of the equation equal:
2(38)+(38-24)=90
76+14=90
90=90 We're right!!!
Happy Calculating!!!
