Hello!

To solve for the variable x, we need to follow the rules of SADMEP. SADMEP is ONLY used when solving algebraic equations. SADMEP is an acronym for subtraction, addition, division, multiplication, exponents, and parentheses. Also, when solving for x, our main goal is to isolate x to one side of the equation.

2(x + 14) + x = 70 (use the distributive property)

2x + 28 + x = 70 (simplify - add)

3x + 28 = 70 (subtract 28 from both sides)

3x = 42 (divide both sides by 3)

x = 14

When solving ANY algebraic equation, we need check our answer. To check your answer, you substitute the x-value, which is 14 in this case, into the original equation and solve using PEMDAS.

2(x + 14) + x = 70 (substitute x = 14)

2(14 + 14) + 14 = 70 (simplify the terms inside the parentheses)

2(28) + 14 = 70 (simplify - multiply)

56 + 14 = 70 (simplify - add alike term)

70 = 70 | This is correct!

Therefore, your final answer is x = 14, which is choice C.

A digit is a number in one of the places, so for example the number 54 has two digits; a tens place digit (5) and a ones place digit (4).

Say the mystery number is a two digit number = xy
* that's not x times y but two side by side digits.

Info given:
<span>the sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 6
x + y = 6 </span>
<span>if the digits are reversed, yx the difference between the new number and the original number is 18.

**To obtain the number from digits you must multiply by the place and add the digits up. (Example: 54 = 10(5) + 1(4))

Original number = 10x + y
Reversed/New number = 10y + x

Difference:
10y + x - (10x + y) = 18
9y - 9x = 18
9(y - x) = 18
y - x = 18/9
y - x = 2

Now we have two equations in two variables
</span>y - x = 2
<span>x + y = 6

Re-write one in terms of one variable for substitution.
y = 2 + x
sub in to the other equation to combine them.
x + (2 + x) = 6
2x + 2 = 6
2x = 6 - 2
2x = 4
x = 2

That's the tens digit for the original number. Plug this value into either of the equations to obtain y, the ones digit.

2 + y = 6
y = 4

number "xy" = 24
