Solve for X:
Let's solve the equation step-by-step.
First, simplify the equation by combining the -terms on both sides:
The term can be simplified to . Hence, the equation becomes:
.
Combine the terms involving on the left side:
. So, the equation transforms into:
.
To isolate , first move all the terms involving to one side of the equation and the constant terms to the other side. Add to both sides:
.
Combine the -terms on the right:
.
To solve for , add to both sides:
.
Perform the addition:
.
Therefore, the solution to the equation is .
Solve for X:
\( x - 3 + 5 = 8 - 2 \)
Simplifying fractions makes it easier to combine like terms! For example, and look different, but when you simplify , you can easily combine them as ninths.
When fractions have the same denominator, just add or subtract the numerators! For example:
Use the opposite operation! If you have on the left, add to both sides. This moves all x-terms to one side efficiently.
Yes, but be careful with rounding errors! Converting to 0.778... can lead to small mistakes. Working with exact fractions gives you the precise answer.
Substitute x = 23.1 into the original equation: . If both sides equal the same value, your answer is correct!
