Question

Please help, I've been having trouble with these difficult problems and I'm stuck ...

Solve for (x)

1. x+5=36
2. x+19=21
3. x+5+3=10
4. 19-x=12
5. 100-x+2=52

This math is just too advanced for me. Go through the process if you want!

Answer 1

x + 5 = 36
subtract 5 from both sides to get x by itself
x = 31 answer

Answer 2

Answer 3

I will only do number 1, as an example for you to do the rest.
$$x+5=36 \Rightarrow x = 36 -5 \Rightarrow x = 31$$
When I moved the 5 over the equal sign, it becomes the opposite value that it was. Hence \(-5\).

@douglaswinslowcooper beat me to it. :-P

Answer 4

I just don't get it ... sometimes I wonder if I'm cut out for Algebra 3. Why I even took the class is beyond me!

Answer 5

If you live in America, this is actually pre-algebra, not Algebra "3". (I am assuming you pressed 3 instead of 2 on your keyboard.)

Answer 6

That's racist.

Answer 7

Yes I live in America. Got shipped here in a box.

Answer 8

Uh, okay.

Well I am willing to help you not give answer. So try to attempt the other questions, if you cannot then tag me and I will try to walk you through the process.

Answer 9

Okay here are my attempts ...

2. x=30
3. x=4
4. x=9
5. x=61

Answer 10

I think I got them right.

Answer 11

Looks like I won't be needing help after all! Maybe people will think I'm worth something again! :) Thank you for giving me a chance!

Answer 12

Hold on, you got them wrong. (At least number 2, I haven't checked the rest.)

Explain how you got 30 for number 2?

Answer 13

You Just do the opposite from each side For ex.
X + 19=21 subtract 19 from each side
X + 19=21
-19 -19
x = 2
so x=2
