83+(9x-10)=127, what is x

Answer 1

83 + (9x-10) = 127

Your goal is to isolate the variable x-you do this in steps by using inverse operations (opposite operation)

Step 1-Use inverse operations and subtract 83 from both sides.

You get 9x-10=44

Step 2-Use inverse operations again and add 10 to both sides

You get 9x=54

Lastly, use inverse operations and divide both sides by 9

You get x=6

Answer 2

83+(9x-10)=127 (subtract 83)

(9x-10)=44 (add 10)

9x=54 (divide by 9)

x=6
