Question

Solve for x and explain.​

Answer 1

x = 9

Explanation:

7x + 3 = 10x -24

3 = 10x -7x - 24

24 + 3 = 10x - 7x

27 = 3x

27/3 = 3x/3

9= x

x = 9

Answer 2

x=9

Explanation:

The angles are vertical angles, which means they are equal

7x+3 = 10x-24

Subtract 7x from each side

7x+3 -7x = 10x-7x-24

3 = 3x-24

Add 24 to each side

3+24 = 3x-24+24

27 = 3x

Divide each side by 3

27/3 = 3x/3

9 = x
