Let's solve each equation separately:
9(143-13x) = 234Distribute the 9:1287 - 117x = 234Subtract 1287 from both sides:-117x = -1053Divide by -117:x = 9
17(5x-16) = 238Distribute the 17:85x - 272 = 238Add 272 to both sides:85x = 510Divide by 85:x = 6
Therefore, the solutions to the equations are x = 9 and x = 6.
Let's solve each equation separately:
9(143-13x) = 234
Distribute the 9:
1287 - 117x = 234
Subtract 1287 from both sides:
-117x = -1053
Divide by -117:
x = 9
17(5x-16) = 238
Distribute the 17:
85x - 272 = 238
Add 272 to both sides:
85x = 510
Divide by 85:
x = 6
Therefore, the solutions to the equations are x = 9 and x = 6.
