Question

The value of x in the equation (12x − 36) = 5x + 18 is .

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = \frac{54}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

(12x − 36) = 5x + 18

First of all remove the parenthesis

That's

12x - 36 = 5x + 18

Next subtract 5x from both sides of the equation

We have

12x - 5x - 36 = 5x - 5x + 18

7x - 36 = 18

Add 36 to both sides of the equation

That's

7x + 36 - 36 = 18 + 36

7x = 54

Divide both sides by 7

$\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{54}{7}$

We have the final answer as

$x = \frac{54}{7}$

Hope this helps you

Answer 2

Answer: x=54/7

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x, we need to use algebraic properties to isolate x.

12x-36=5x+18         [subtract both sides by 5x]

7x-36=18                  [add both sides by 36]

7x=54                      [divide both sides by 7]

x=54/7

Now, we know that x=54/7.
