Solve for X:
To solve the equation , we follow these steps:
Therefore, the solution to the equation is .
Solve for X:
\( x - 3 + 5 = 8 - 2 \)
The coefficient of x becomes negative because 16x - 30x = -14x. When you have more negative x terms than positive ones, your final coefficient will be negative, leading to a negative solution.
Either way works! Decimals are often easier for this type of problem. Just be careful with your arithmetic and round appropriately at the end if needed.
It doesn't matter! Choose whichever side makes the coefficient of x positive to avoid working with negative numbers. In this problem, moving x terms to the right would give +24x instead of -24x.
Double-check your arithmetic! Common errors include: wrong signs when combining like terms, incorrect addition of constants like , or division mistakes at the end.
The exact answer is , but when rounded to two decimal places it becomes -0.11. Always check if the problem asks for a specific number of decimal places.
