The original number is 72
(18+x)/6 = 1+14
1/6x + 3 = 1 + 14 (Distribute)
1/6x + 3 = (1+14) (Combine Like Terms)
1/6x + 3 = 15
- 3 = -3 (Subtract 3 From Both Sides)
1/6x = 12
(1/6x)*6 = 12 * 6 (Multiply Both Sides By 6)
x = 72
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
First set 2n-1=4n+5 and solve for n. once you have n plug it back into each equation and then multiply those two together. Do the same to n-3 and 2n+1. Once you get the answer to both subtract them
