Can anyone please help me with this with an explanation

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5x+4x−68=34−8x

5x+4x+ −68=34+ −8x

(5x+4x)+(−68)=−8x+34(Combine like terms)

9x+−68=−8x+34

9x−68=−8x+34

Step 2: Add 8x to both sides.

9x −68+ 8x= −8x +34 +8x

17x −68 =34

Step 3: Add 68 to both sides.

17x −68 +68= 34 +68

17x=102

Step 4: Divide both sides by 17.

17x /17=  102/17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's step through this line by line, looking for a spot where the friend could have made a mistake.

So, where could the friend have made their mistake? The key here is the transition from step 1 to step 2. What if we had subtracted 68 instead of adding it?

There it is. The friend's problem was that they had accidentally subtracted 68 to both sides when they should have added it.

$8

step-by-step explanation:

it is pretty much backwards.

you take the 4x2 multiply that, and that is = $8

i think the answer is seven, for if i'm being useless °ω°
