Answer: x = 4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Reorder the terms:
3x = -9 + 5x
2) Solving
3x = -9 + 5x
3) Solving for variable 'x'.
4) Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
5) Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.
3x + -5x = -9 + 5x + -5x
6) Combine like terms: 3x + -5x = -2x
-2x = -9 + 5x + -5x
7) Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
-2x = -9 + 0
-2x = -9
8) Divide each side by '-2'.
x = 4.5
9) Simplifying
x = 4.5
12 inches is the answer im sure
6 + 7 = 13
20 + 70 = 90
100 + 300 = 400
The 400 + 90 + 13 = 503
