Question

M<1=3x+7, m<5=5x-3. Find the value of each variable.

Answer 1

Answer: x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x, we set the measures of 1 and 5 equal to each other.

3x+7=5x-3        [subtract both sides by 5x]

-2x+7=-3           [subtract both sides by 7]

-2x=-10             [divide both sides by -2]

x=5

Now, we know that x=5.
