Question

Please help! 70+23x-5+110+14x=360 (please show step bc I need to turn in work-paper) Thank you!

Answer 1

x = 5

explanation

70 + 23x - 5 + 110 + 14x = 360

first you group the like terms

23x + 14x + 70 - 5 + 110 = 360

then combine the like terms

23x + 14x    70 - 5 + 110

37x + 175 = 360

subtract 175 from both sides

175 - 175 = 0     360 - 175 = 185

to get

37x = 185

divide both sides by 37

37x/37 = 0     185/37= 5

which gives you

x = 5
