Answer:
• x+18=38
,
• x=20
Explanation:
Given the equation:
[tex]\frac{x+18}{19}=2[/tex]
Part A
To rewrite the equations without fractions, cross multiply.
[tex]\begin{gathered} x+18=19\times2 \\ \implies x+18=38 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Part B
Subtract 18 from both sides of the equation above to solve for x.
[tex]\begin{gathered} x+18-18=38-18 \\ x=20 \end{gathered}[/tex]
The value of x is 20.
