Answer:
CT = 22
Step-by-step explanation:
given:
4x - 9 9x - 34
|-------------------------------|----------------------------------|
C J T
find: CT
CJ + JT = CT -----------eq. 1
CJ = JT -------------------eq.2
plugin values using eq.2
4x - 9 = 9x - 34
combine like terms:
4x - 9x = 9 - 34
-5x = -25
x = -25 / -5
x = 5
solve for CT using eq.1
CJ + JT = CT
4x - 9 + 9x - 34 = CT
substitute x to 5
4(5) - 9 + 9(5) - 34 = CT
20 - 9 + 45 - 34 = CT
22 = CT
therefore,
CT = 22
