Question

2 find the solution. 2. 4+5 ( x - 1 ) = 34 Solve the equation.​

Answer 1

Answer: x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x we must simplify the equation until there are just letters on one side and numbers on the other side.

As this is an equation we do this to both sides:

4 + 5(x-1) = 34

-4: 5(x-1)=30

get rid of the parenthesis (only for one side in this case): 5x + 5(-1) = 30

simplify: 5x + -5 = 30

+5: 5x = 35

divide by 5: x = 7

X = 7

Answer 2

$4 + 5(x - 1) = 34 \\ 5x - 5 = 30 \\ 5x = 35\\ x = 7$
