To solve for x, first you need to isolate all x terms on the same side so:
you start with 5 + 4x = 54 - 3x
subtract 5 from both sides to get 5 onto the left side
now you should have 4x = 49 - 3x
now add 3x to both sides to get 3x onto the right side
now you should have 7x = 49
now that you have your x on one side you can solve this like a regular one step equation and divide both sides by 7
this leads you to your answer of x = 7
hope this helps!

X=5 because you add 2 to both side and get 3x=15, and then you divide both sides by 3 to get x alone, and get 15/3 which equals 5
Answer: 1 hour 20 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The old machine could shred a truckload of paper in 4 hours.
Rate of work done by old machine = 
The new machine could shred the same truckload in 2 hours.
Rate of work done by new machine = 
Let 't' be the time taken by both of them working together , then we have the following equation:-

Since 1 hour = 60 minutes
Then, 
Hence, it will take 1 hour 20 minutes to shred the same truckload of paper if Ron runs both shredders at the same time.
