x = 2.25

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

     Let us turn these diagram pictures into mathematical expressions so we can solve easier.

           On the left side,

                 -3x + 10

           On the right side,

                  5x - 8

     Now we see, in the middle, they are equal to each other. We will set the two expressions equal and solve for x.

-3x + 10 = 5x - 8

10 = 8x - 8

18 = 8x

2.25 = x

x = 2.25
