Question

Which value for x makes the sentence true?

Answer 1

Hello!

To find the value of x, we need to solve for the value of x.

5 + 4x = 32 + 2x (subtract 2x from both sides)

5 + 2x = 32 (subtract 5 from both sides)

27 = 2x (divide both sides by 2)

x = 27/2

Therefore, none of the given x-values make this equation true.

Answer 2

Answer:

The value x which makes the sentence true is 27/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

$5 + 4 \cdot x = 32 + 2x$

The above equation can be written as:

$5 + 4x = 32 + 2x$

Subtract 2x from both sides.

$5 + 4x-2x = 32 + 2x-2x$

$5 + 2x = 32$

Subtract 5 from both the sides.

$2x = 32-5$

$2x=27$

Divide both the sides by 2.

$x=\frac{27}{2}$

Hence the value x which makes the sentence true is 27/2.
