To solve this problem, we'll proceed with these steps:
Now, let's work through these steps:
Simplify the equation given by performing the multiplication and subtraction:
Combine like terms on the left side:
To isolate , add 1 to both sides of the equation:
Divide both sides by 10 to solve for :
Therefore, the solution to the equation is .
Comparing this with the provided answer choices, we see that the correct choice is:
Solve for X:
\( x - 3 + 5 = 8 - 2 \)
Order of operations (PEMDAS) requires multiplication before addition and subtraction. If you don't follow this rule, you'll get completely wrong answers!
When multiplying a variable term by a number: . The coefficient 2 gets multiplied by 3 to give 6x.
Since both terms have the same variable x, add their coefficients: . Think of it as 4 apples plus 6 apples equals 10 apples!
Double-check your order of operations and make sure you combined like terms correctly. The most common error is rushing through the multiplication steps.
