Answer is A. 18
EXPLANATION-
Its Simplifying
(9x + -44) = (6x + 10)
Reorder the terms:
(-44 + 9x) = (6x + 10)
Remove parenthesis around (-44 + 9x)
-44 + 9x = (6x + 10)
Reorder the terms:
-44 + 9x = (10 + 6x)
Remove parenthesis around (10 + 6x)
-44 + 9x = 10 + 6x
Solving
-44 + 9x = 10 + 6x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-6x' to each side of the equation.
-44 + 9x + -6x = 10 + 6x + -6x
Combine like terms: 9x + -6x = 3x
-44 + 3x = 10 + 6x + -6x
Combine like terms: 6x + -6x = 0
-44 + 3x = 10 + 0
-44 + 3x = 10
Add '44' to each side of the equation.
-44 + 44 + 3x = 10 + 44
Combine like terms: -44 + 44 = 0
0 + 3x = 10 + 44
3x = 10 + 44
Combine like terms: 10 + 44 = 54
3x = 54
Divide each side by '3'.
x = 18
Simplifying
x = 18
Would it not be. 4th quadrant .... if I’m reading the question correctly. Sorry if this doesn’t help
For a parallelogram, the parallel sides must be the same length. This means you can set their lengths equal to each other. Get like terms on the same side to calculate x.
3x-5=2x+3
3x-5+5=2x+3+5
3x=2x+8
3x-2x=2x-2x+8
x=8
x=8
