Answer 1

image attached,. question: Find the value of x in the figure below. Show all steps.

my answer:
9x - 5 = 158 - 64

9x - 5 = 94

9x - 5 + 5 = 94 + 5

9x = 99

9x/9 = 99/9

x = 11

Answer 2

Woops, I just caught a mistake. let me correct it..........

Answer 3

OK, here's my new answer. is this correct?

9x - 5 = (1/2)(158 - 64)

9x - 5 = (1/2 * 158) - (1/2 * 64)

9x - 5 = 79 - 32

9x - 5 = 47

9x - 5 + 5 = 47 + 5

9x = 52

9x/9 = 52/9

x = 5 7/9
