.... give me the answer ...

Answer 13

yea the answer is 49 and i am looking for an equation that the answer is 24 not 49

Answer 14

apparently the method "make up an expression, replace x by 24 and see what you get" does not work. do you have something specific in mind?

Answer 15

1+2x=49?

Answer 16

1+x=-x+49?

Answer 17

can someone give me another one please?

Answer 18

\[\Large \begin{array}{l}
2x{\rm{ }} + {\rm{ }}x{\rm{ }} + {\rm{ }}1{\rm{ }} + {\rm{ }}1{\rm{ }} = {\rm{ }}x{\rm{ }} + {\rm{ }}25{\rm{ }} + {\rm{ }}25\\
2x = 48\\
x = \frac{{48}}{2}\\
x = 24
\end{array}\]

Jaysus. Good answer Luke.

Answer 19

how u get 48

Answer 20

Collect like terms and simplify.
The 1 + 1 is one one side, move it to the other. 25 + 25 = 50
50 - (1+1) = 48.
\[\Large \begin{array}{l}
2x{\rm{ }} + {\rm{ }}x{\rm{ }} + {\rm{ }}1{\rm{ }} + {\rm{ }}1{\rm{ }} = {\rm{ }}x{\rm{ }} + {\rm{ }}25{\rm{ }} + {\rm{ }}25\\
2x + x - x = 25 + 25 - 1 - 1
\end{array}\]

Answer 21

And just for the record, being a little less demanding and a little more appreciative of people's freely-offered help would be a decent gesture.

Answer 22

can u just give me another one becuz i don't understand that one

Answer 23

\[\Large \begin{array}{l}
2x + 4 = 52\\
2x = 52 - 4 = 48\\
x = \frac{{48}}{2}\\
x = 24
\end{array}\]

Answer 24
