Isolate the variable on one side of the equation and everything else to the opposite side of the variable.

You can isolate the variable by undoing the operations done to the variable.
For example, if we added 5 to x (x + 5) then we would need to undo that operation. We would need to use the inverse of addition. Which is subtraction.

5x + 6 = 2(2x - 3)
5x + 6 = 4x - 6 <-- Distribute the 2
x + 6 = -6 <-- Subtract 4x from each side
x = -12 <-- Subtract 6 from each side

So, x is equal to -12.

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the triangles are congruent then corresponding angles are congruent, so

∠ N = ∠ E

To calculate ∠ E subtract the sum of the 2 given angles from 180

∠ E = 180 - (x - 5 + 4x - 10)

= 180 - (5x - 15)

Equate ∠ N and ∠ E

5x - 5 = 180 - 5x + 15 ( add 5x to both sides )

10x - 5 = 195 ( add 5 to both sides )

10x = 200 ( divide both sides by 10 )

x = 20
