Answer 2

`x=10`

Explanation:

• Simplify the expression

Add the numbers.

`76=4x-1+2x+17`

`76=4x+16+2x`

Combine like terms.

`76=4x-1+2x=17`

`76=6x+16`

• Subtract 16 from both sides.

`76-16=6x + 16 - 16`

• Simplify

`60=6x`

• Divide by 6

`(60)/(6) = (6x)/(6)`

• 6x and 6 cancel each other out.

`60` ÷
`6 = 10`

`10 = x`

Hence,
`x` equals
`10`.
