Question

Can anyone please help me with this with an explanation?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, write the given.

$5x+4x-68=34-8x$

Then, transpose -8x and-64. The equation should be grouped with similar terms.

$5x+4x+8x=34+68$

Next, execute the equation.

$17x=102$

Thought it's the answer? No, we're not finished. To arrive in the final solution, divide 17 in both sides.

$\frac{17x}{17} =\frac{102}{17}$

The final answer is...

$x=6$
