Find the value of x.

How many degrees are in a right angle? You can set the equation to equal 7x - 5 + x + 3 = 90

(1 point)
x =

1 answer

To find the value of \( x \) in the equation \( 7x - 5 + x + 3 = 90 \), we can first simplify the equation:

  1. Combine like terms:

\[ 7x + x - 5 + 3 = 90 \]

This becomes:

\[ 8x - 2 = 90 \]

  1. Next, add 2 to both sides:

\[ 8x - 2 + 2 = 90 + 2 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 8x = 92 \]

  1. Now, divide both sides by 8:

\[ x = \frac{92}{8} \]

  1. Simplifying that fraction gives:

\[ x = 11.5 \]

Therefore, the value of \( x \) is \( 11.5 \).
