5x-7 = 2x-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dont i have to solve for x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i get 3x=6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but you have find x if u want to find the length of bd

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divid 6 by 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6 / 3 = 2 not 0.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then i plug it in to the x right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so x=2 then plug it in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5(2)-7+2(2)-1=BC

OpenStudy (anonymous):
