Answer:
-69
Step-by-step explanation:
inches:-69
-5 9/12 (-5 3/4 clearer) feet
Explanation in detail:
Write the equation down and distribute it.
3x - 1 = 2(x + 34)
3x - 1 = 2x + 68
Remove the variable on one side first (it makes solving the equation less complicated.)
3x - 1 = 2x + 68
-3x -3x
-1 = -x + 68
On all sides, subtract 68.
-1 = -x + 68
-68 -68
-69 = x
I'm guessing the answer in feet and inches is...
inches:-69
-5 9/12 (-5 3/4 simplified) feet
