Stafford · Answer 1

22 & 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

x+x+1=45

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

x+x+1=45

(x+x) + (1) = 45 (Combine Like Terms)

2x+1=45

2x+1=45

Step 2: Subtract 1 from both sides.

2x+1-1=45-1

2x=44

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

2x/2=44/2

x=22

22+23 = 45

Destiney · Answer 2

x + (x+1) = 45

2x+1=45

2x=44

x=22

The answer is 22 and 23
