Brian gets 5x and Colin gets x amount.

Brian gets 60 more than Colin, so you get:

5x - x = 60

Simplify to get:

4x = 60

Divide both sides by 4:

x = 15

Brian gets 5x = 5(15) = 75

Colin gets x = 15

75 + 15 = 90

The total amount they get is £90

X*2+1=10 then x=? Tell me the value of x

Trava [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$x \times 2 + 1 = 10$

$2x + 1 = 10$

Move constant to R.H.S and change its sign

$2x = 10 - 1$

Subtract the numbers

$2x = 9$

Divide both sides of the equation by 2

$\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{9}{2}$

Calculate

$x = 4.5$

Hope this helps..
