Question

5=24-(x-18x+36) Please help me to find the answer . I know how to solve it but i am a bit confused . Please help me with that

Answer 1

Answer:

x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

5 = 24 - (x - 18x + 36)

Flip the equation around for easier calculations.

24 - (x- 18x + 36) = 5

Subtract 18x from x:

24 - (-17x + 36) = 5

Open the bracket:

24 + 17x - 36 = 5

Subtract 36 from 24:

17x - 12 = 5

Move the 12 over to the 5:

17x = 5 + 12

17x = 17

Solve the equation with division:

x = 17 ÷ 17 which will give you 1.

Hence, x = 1.

Answer 2

5 = 24 - x +18x - 36

5 = 24 - 36 - x + 18 x

5 = -12 + 17x

17x = 5 + 12

17x = 17

x = 17/17

x = 1
