Solve for X:
To solve the linear equation , we will follow these steps:
Let's simplify the equation step-by-step:
Step 1: Simplify each side.
On the left side:
This can be simplified by combining like terms:
On the right side:
Combine like terms:
So, we have simplified the equation to:
Step 2: Isolate .
To balance the equation and solve for , let's move the -terms to one side and constant terms to the other side.
Add to both sides to move all -terms to the right side:
Now add 10 to both sides to move the constant terms to the left side:
Step 3: Solve for .
Divide both sides by 19 to solve for :
Therefore, the solution to the equation is . This value corresponds to choice id "2" in the list.
1
\( x+x=8 \)
Like terms have the same variable and exponent. In this problem, and are like terms, while constants like 4, 6, and -1 are also like terms.
No! Work on one side at a time. First simplify the left side completely, then simplify the right side. This prevents confusion and calculation errors.
That's normal! In this problem, we got on the left side. Just continue solving as usual - the negative will work itself out when you move terms around.
Add the opposite of what you want to move. To move from the left, add to both sides. This gives you all x-terms on one side.
Absolutely! You can move terms to either side. Choose the side that will give you a positive coefficient for x - it's usually easier to work with.
