What is 5x+6x+7x=31,050

solve for X
X is 1725
I'm lost where and how did they get 1725 for X

You're more likely to get help sooner if you FOLLOW DIRECTIONS and put the subject in the School Subject box.

In this case, you should put one of these, and the more specific, the better:

Math
Algebra 1
(or whatever the NAME of the class is that you're taking)

4x + 6x + 7x = 18x

18x = 31,050

Divide both sides of the equation by 18.

To solve the equation 5x + 6x + 7x = 31,050 for x, we need to combine the like terms on the left side of the equation.

First, combine the x terms:

5x + 6x + 7x = 31,050

18x = 31,050

Next, divide both sides of the equation by 18 to isolate x:

18x / 18 = 31,050 / 18

x = 1725

Therefore, x is equal to 1725.

They arrived at the value of 1725 for x by simplifying the equation by combining the like terms and then dividing both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x, which is 18. This process allows us to isolate x and find its value.
