So, XZ= 7x+1 and PZ= 4x-1. To figure out XP we have to subtract those two.
(7x+1)-(4x-1)
3x-2
3(8)-2
24-2
22
XP=22
Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
For algebra always start by rewriting it.
4+x+2-2x=5
Then ask yourself is there any like terms we can combine, and here yes there is. 4 and 2 and x and -2x. Now lets combine them and rewrite.
6-x=5
Now lets get x alone and the quickest way is to subtract 6 to the other side
6-x=5
-6 -6
-x=-1
Now the two negatives cancel out as you would divide both sides by the coefficient -1 to get positive x alone. We can make this easier by just canceling out the negatives.
Your answer is
x=1
