and the full question is
if m<G=2x+11 and m<A= 5x - 37calculate m<g

anonymous · Answer

2x + 11 = 5x - 37
-3x = - 48
x = 16
is 16 one of the answers you can choose from?

anonymous · Answer

Yes thank you AnnoyedStudent for your great help

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

16 isn't the answer though, they put in that trap for a reason (because a lot of people usually stop here when they shouldn't)

anonymous · Answer

@jim_thompson5910 wait but that's weird ??

anonymous · Answer

How do you know it isn't the answer?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

you have to keep going

m < G = 2x + 11

m < G = 2*16 + 11 .. plug in x = 16

m < G = 32 + 11

m < G = 43

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

they didn't say find x, they said find m < G
