The answer you are looking for is x = 0 (or undefined)
To solve for x, you would first combine all the like terms on the right side. To do so, add 2x and 2x to get 4x and add 24 and 2 together to get 26. This will give you 4x + 28 = 4x + 26, which you can now solve.
To find x, you would get the x by itself. However, in doing so you would get 0 or 0x. This is because you would subtract 4x on both sides to cancel out the 4x on the right, but in this case, it will also cancel out the 4x on the left. Thus meaning the answer is 0 or undefined.
I hope this helps!
<span>The observation of rocks in several mountainous belts that today are separated by oceans provides evidence of continental drift. Continental drift is the displacement of continental masses relative to each other. The Appalachian mountain belt in eastern North America ends off the coast of Newfoundland. Mountains of the same age with rocks and similar structures are found in the British Isles and Scandinavia, when these land masses come together, the mountain ranges form an almost continuous belt.</span>
A) is not the answer because we use nearby resources as an important factor in the site and growth of cities.
B) is not the answer because we need to be able to go and trade with other cities, or countries.
C) is correct because people don't use the prevailing wind direction as an important factor in the site and growth of cities.
