Question

Whats x in 76+90=32(75)-x

Answer 1

Do you know what your first step would be?

Answer 2

76+90=32(75)-x

Since x is on the right-hand side of the equation, switch the sides so it is on the left-hand side of the equation.
32(75)-x=76+90

Add 90 to 76 to get 166.
32(75)-x=166

Multiply 32 by each term inside the parentheses.
2400-x=166

Since 2400 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by subtracting 2400 from both sides.
-x=-2400+166

Add 166 to -2400 to get -2234.
-x=-2234

Multiply each term in the equation by -1.
-x*-1=-2234*-1

Multiply -x by -1 to get x.
x=-2234*-1

Multiply -2234 by -1 to get 2234.
x=2234

Answer 8

"76+90=32(75)-x"

There is not now, nor will there ever be a good answer for "the" first step. You should do whatever comes to your mind that might lead to a solution. Think about it. Ponder it. What makes the expressions complicated? What can you do to simplify the expressions and make more sense of the whole equation?

Answer 9

@tkhunny There is a first step... your first step may not be the same as my first step, but there is always a first step. I was asking elderkid if they knew what the first step would be... was trying to find out where they didn't understand it and walk through it with them. :-)

Answer 10

Substantially disagree, but the discussion is of no consequence on this thread. Please continue your usual excellent and patient work. :-)
