Isolatexon one side of the equation:
2x 6 =x+ 5
2x 6 x=x+ 5 x
x 6 = 5
x 6 + 6 = 5 + 6
x= 11
Check by substituting 11 forxin the original equation.

Divide 532 by 4 to determine how many feet of shelving will be needed.

Letxequal Angie's hourly wage.x+ 2 would then represent Tim's hourly wage, and 3(x+ 2) would represent Terry's hourly wage.
x+ (x+2) + 3(x+2) = 43
x+x+ 2 + 3x+ 6 = 43
5x+ 8 = 43
5x= 35
x= 35/5
x= 7
