Question

What is the value ofx?

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x is -6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the total distance between J and H is 15 units. So in order to find x, you have to add up both expressions equals to 15 :

$x + 14 + x + 13 = 15$

$2x + 27 = 15$

$2x = 15 - 27$

$2x = - 12$

$x = - 12 \div 2$

$x = - 6$

Answer 2

Answer:

x= - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

JH =15 units

=> JI+IH = 15units

=> (x+14)+(x+13)= 15 units

=> x +14+x+13= 15

=> 2x+ 27 = 15

=> 2x = 15-27

=> 2x = -12

=> x = -12/2

=> x= -6
