3x + 6x-45 =180 Solve for x
first step is to bring the 180 to the left hand side and collect like terms.
do that first.
9x
9x-45
what about -45-180?
3x + 6x -45 = 180 9x -45 -180 = 0 9x -225=0 now you try the rest.
Your confusing me even more. I dont get what im supposed to do
tell me what u are confused about please? and are u even reading what I say?
Yes i am.
in the question it clearly says "Solve for x"
you want to find x, and in this case x = .......... (the dots are to be replaced with a value that you will find by solving.
get it?
No;(
oh god.
3x + 6x -45 = 180, do you agree? that is just the equation
Yes
now collect like terms. 3x + 6x = 9x u did that at first but u forgot about the -45 and -180. 3x + 6x -45=180 so lets start over by bringing the 180 to the left hand side. 3x + 6x - 45 -180=0 9x -225 = 0 9x = 225 x = 225/9 x = 25
I listed every step there and it's the most simplest form so if u don't understand just ask me what u are confused about otherwise I cannot help u further because that's all there is to it.
25 isn't an option
well obviously u made a mistake typing the equation/question or the options given by ur textbook or whoever it may be are wrong.
please tell me the options.
supplementary means sum = 180 so, 3x + 6x-45 =180 now solve for 'x'
Thats the equation i came up with but heres the problem.
sorry, the whole diagram and question cannot be seen and it's blurry.
if that's an equation u came up with, then most likely it's wrong then, please show me the full question.
I didn't come up with it.
|dw:1358674966009:dw| 8. Given that line f is parallel to line g, find the value of x. The diagram is not to scale.
