Question 55988
2x+(x-24)=90 what does x equal?
{{{2x+x-24=90}}}
{{{(2+1)x-24=90}}}
{{{3x-24=90}}}
{{{3x-24+24=90+24}}}
{{{3x=114}}}
{{{3x/3=114/3}}}
{{{highlight(x=38)}}}
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!!!
