Question

Find the value of X if A equals 3X, B equals 2X +4 and C equals 5X +6

Answer 1

To find the value of X, we can set up equations using the given information.

We're given:
A equals 3X
B equals 2X + 4
C equals 5X + 6

Let's set up an equation for B and C. Since B equals 2X + 4 and C equals 5X + 6, we can write:

B = C

Substituting the values of B and C, we have:
2X + 4 = 5X + 6

To solve for X, we first eliminate the variable on one side of the equation:

2X + 4 - 2X = 5X + 6 - 2X
4 = 3X + 6

Next, we isolate the X variable:

4 - 6 = 3X
-2 = 3X

Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 3 to solve for X:

-2/3 = X

Therefore, the value of X is -2/3.
