Simplify. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Follow PEMDAS.
Isolate the x.
First, distribute 6 to all terms within the parenthesis
6(-3) = -18
6(4x) = 24x
7x - 18 + 24x = 199
Simplify. Combine like terms
31x - 18 = 199
Isolate the x. Add 18 to both sides
31x - 18 (+18) = 199 (+18)
31x = 199 + 18
31x = 217
Isolate the x. Divide 31 from both sides
31x/31 = 217/31
x = 217/31
x = 7
7 is your answer for x

Answer:
6/25
Step-by-step explanation:
.24 = 24/100 = 6/25
We know that y is equal to x-2. We can just substitute x-2 for y since y is equal to it.
10x- 9(x-2)=24
Distribute.
10x- 9x+18= 24
x+18= 24
Subtract 18 on both sides.
x= 6
Now, plug in x.
y= (6)-2
y= 4
We can check this to see if this works:
4= 6-2, 4=4
10(6)- 9(4)= 24
60-36= 24, 24=24
x=6 and y=4

36j + j = 37j
Explanation.
You could translate this sum into a normal sebtence: I have 36 apples and add 1 apple more.
The sum will then be 36 apples + apple = 37 apples.
Replacing the word (in this explanation 'apple') by a letter learns us 36a + a = 37a
Hence 36j + j = 37j
