The answer is: " 12 " .
_____________________________________________
→ " x = 12 " .
_____________________________________________
To solve:
________________________________________________________
3x - 1 = x + 23 ; Solve for "x" ;
Subtract "x" from each side of the equation; & add "1" to each side of the equation;
3x - 1 - x + 1 = x + 23 - x + 1 ;
to get:
2x = 24 ;
Divide each side of the equation by "2" ;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;
2x/2 = 24/2 ;
to get:
x = 12 .
_____________________________________________
Let us check our answer, by plugging in "12" for "x" ; on EACH side of the original equation; to see if the equation holds true; {that is, to see if each side of the original equation is equal, when "x = 12" } ; as follows:
______________________________________________
3x - 1 = x + 23 ;
Substitute "12" for "x" on each side ;
3(12) - 1 =? (12) + 23 ??
36 - 1 =? 35 ??
35 =? 35?? Yes!

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of interior angles of a 5-sided polygon is 540 degrees.
We sum all the angles to get:
<M+<L+<N+<O+<P=540
90+90+(17x+4)+(18x+6)+(10x-10)=540
45x+180=540
45x=540-180
45x=360
x=8
N=18*8+6
Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.
x = 1
-6+3x+4=2-4x+3
-8+7x+1=0
7x=7
x=1
