Question

Need someone with a big brain to help lol Solve for x

Answer 1

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

I am going to use this image as an example so you can understand the formula

The formula for problems like these is

B(BA)=D(DC)

So all we have to do is plug in the numeric values

so now we have 5(5+x+3)=6(6+x)

now we just solve for x

5(5+x+3)=6(6+x)

step 1 distribute the 5 to what is in the parenthesis (5, x and 3)

5x5=25

5*x=5x

5x3=15

so now we have

25+5x+15=6(6+x)

step 2 distribute the 6 to what is in the parenthesis (6 and x)

6x6=36

6*x=6x

now we have

25+5x+15=6x=36

step 3 combine like terms, the only like terms are 25 and 15

15+25=40

now we have

40+5x=6x+36

step 4 subtract 5x from each side

5x-5x cancels out

6x-5x=x

now we have

40=x+36

step 5 subtract 36 from each side

40-36=4

36-36 cancels out

now we have

x=4 so we can conclude that x=4

hope this helps :)
