First I want to say this is my first post and that I'm a homeschooled student. This is my first year of high school without a hands on teacher and I'm having trouble with not being able to get in contact with my teacher when I have questions about the homework (I guess it's technically just work now, since it's all done at home).
I took a screenshot of the question to show you exactly what I'm working on.
The part that throws me off is that all of the numbers have X next to them and any equation I set up just doesn't add up right.
I tried 19x + 17x + 27x = 180, it came out to some kind of run on decimal like 2.85 something something. What am I doing wrong?
I even tried 19x = 27x and that just didn't even make sense.
My online textbook only shows how to find X if there is a problem like (19x + 30). I can't figure out a formula to solve a problem without that extra number like plus 30 or minus 10 that doesn't have an X.
I hope this makes sense. I could really use some help. This whole thing has me stressed out
