Question

Solve the equation and enter the value of x below. 9x + 4 + x = 54​

Answer 1

Hello!

9x + 4 + x = 54 <=>

<=> 9x + x + 4 = 54 <=>

<=> 10x + 4 = 54 <=>

<=> 10x = 54 - 4 <=>

<=> 10x = 50 <=>

<=> x = 50 : 10 <=>

<=> x = 5 => 9 × 5 + 4 + 5 = 54

Good luck! :)

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, combine like terms. Like terms are terms with the same variables as well as same amount of said variables:

9x + x + 4 = 54

(9x + x) + 4 = 54

10x + 4 = 54

Next, isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do tot he other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is the order of operations, and stands for:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

-

First, subtract 4 from both sides of the equation:

10x + 4 (-4) = 54 (-4)

10x = 54 - 4

10x = 50

Next, divide 10 from both sides of the equation:

(10x)/10 = (50)/10

x = 50/10 = 5

x = 5 is your answer.
