Question

$$5x-1= { 15 }^{ 2 } - { 11 }^{ 2 }$$

Solve for x

$x=21$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Calculate $15$ to the power of $2$ and get $225$.

$$5x-1=225-11^{2}$$

Calculate $11$ to the power of $2$ and get $121$.

$$5x-1=225-121$$

Subtract $121$ from $225$ to get $104$.

$$5x-1=104$$

Add $1$ to both sides.

$$5x=104+1$$

Add $104$ and $1$ to get $105$.

$$5x=105$$

Divide both sides by $5$.

$$x=\frac{105}{5}$$

Divide $105$ by $5$ to get $21$.

$$x=21$$
