Answer:
x = -14
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
7x + 156 = 9x + 184
Reorder the terms:
156 + 7x = 9x + 184
Reorder the terms:
156 + 7x = 184 + 9x
Solving
156 + 7x = 184 + 9x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-9x' to each side of the equation.
156 + 7x + -9x = 184 + 9x + -9x
Combine like terms: 7x + -9x = -2x
156 + -2x = 184 + 9x + -9x
Combine like terms: 9x + -9x = 0
156 + -2x = 184 + 0
156 + -2x = 184
Add '-156' to each side of the equation.
156 + -156 + -2x = 184 + -156
Combine like terms: 156 + -156 = 0
0 + -2x = 184 + -156
-2x = 184 + -156
Combine like terms: 184 + -156 = 28
-2x = 28
Divide each side by '-2'.
x = -14
Simplifying
x = -14
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
Please let me know if you want me to add an explanation as to why this is the answer. I can definitely do that, I just don’t want to waste my time in case you don’t want me to :)
7(3a + 12) = 168 ← ( divide both sides by 7 )
3a + 12 = 24 ← ( subtract 12 from both sides )
3a = 12 ← ( divide both sides by 3 )
a = 4
OR
distribute the parenthesis by 7
21a + 84 = 168 ← ( subtract 84 from both sides )
21a = 84 ← ( divide both sides by 21 )
a = 4
One part is 8 feet long and the other part is 17 feet long.
8+17=25
(8x2)+1=17
