Answer:
x=18, 96-24=72, x+3x=72, 4x=72, x=18
Step-by-step explanation:
x-5= 0
move -5 to the other side
sign changes from -5 to +5
x-5+5= 0+5
x= 5
x-6= 0
x-6+6= 0+6
x= 6
Answer: B. 5 and 6
Replace x in the equations and see which one gets the matching y :
-5(0) = 0 +1 = 1
-5(1) = -5 + 1 = -4
-5(-1) = 5 +6 = 6
The first equation works.
