Question

18x + 92 = 281 - 11x ?

Answer 1

get your x's and constants on different sides

Answer 2

189/29 = x

Answer 3

18x+92=281-11x

Since -11x contains the variable to solve for, move it to the left-hand side of the equation by adding 11x to both sides.
18x+92+11x=281

Since 18x and 11x are like terms, add 11x to 18x to get 29x.
29x+92=281

Since 92 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by subtracting 92 from both sides.
29x=-92+281

Add 281 to -92 to get 189.
29x=189

Divide each term in the equation by 29.
(29x)/(29)=(189)/(29)

Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common terms.
x=(189)/(29)

Answer 4

x = 189/29

Answer 5

11x+18x=-92+281
29x=189
x=189/29

Answer 6

-281 + 92= -18x -11x
-189 = -29x
x= 189/29

Answer 7

it's saying my answer options are (A) 3
(B) 6 and 15/29
(C)18 and 5/9
or (D) 27
How do I get any of those out of 189/29?

Answer 8

the answer is B) since 6 + 15/29 = 189/29

Answer 9

ohhh. I see what you mean.

Answer 10

just divide 189 by 29

Answer 11

29 times 6 is 174
189-174=15
so 6 15/29
