Solve for X:
Let's proceed with solving the equation step-by-step:
Given Equation: .
Step 1: Combine like terms on the right side of the equation.
On the right: .
Therefore, the equation becomes:
.
Step 2: Move all the terms involving to one side and constant terms to the other side:
.
Combine the terms involving :
.
Step 3: Simplify constants on the right side:
Combine constants on the right:
Thus, .
Now the equation is:
.
Step 4: Simplify the coefficient of :
.
So the equation simplifies to:
.
Step 5: Solve for by multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of :
.
Step 6: Calculate the value of :
.
Therefore, the solution to the equation is .
Given the provided choices, the correct answer is choice 4: .
Solve for X:
\( x - 3 + 5 = 8 - 2 \)
You can't combine fractions with different denominators directly! Convert to first, then subtract: .
Find the LCD of all denominators. For , , and , the LCD is 21. Convert each fraction: , , .
Remember the goal: get all x-terms on one side, all constants on the other. When you move a term across the equals sign, change its sign. Keep track by writing each step clearly!
Negative solutions are completely normal! When you divide by , you get a negative result because you're dividing a positive by a negative number.
Substitute back into the original equation. Calculate both sides separately - if they're equal, you got it right! This catches any arithmetic errors you might have made.
