Question

$2x + 75 = 13$
$8x - 75 = 11$
$x =$
$x =$

Explanation:

Step1: Solve first equation: isolate x

Start with $8x - 19 = 11$. Add 19 to both sides:
$8x = 11 + 19$
$8x = 30$
Divide by 8:
$x = \frac{30}{8} = \frac{15}{4}$

Step2: Solve second equation: isolate x

Start with $3x + 17 = 13$. Subtract 17 from both sides:
$3x = 13 - 17$
$3x = -4$
Divide by 3:
$x = -\frac{4}{3}$

Answer:

For $8x - 19 = 11$, $x = \frac{15}{4}$
For $3x + 17 = 13$, $x = -\frac{4}{3}$
