Solve the Linear Equation: 7x + 4x + 5x = 0

Question

$7x+4x+5x=0$

$x=\text{?}$

00:05 First, we need to find the value of X.

00:09 Next, let's gather all the factors together.

00:13 Now, we'll isolate X by moving other terms away.

00:20 Then, reduce everything as much as you can.

00:25 And that's how we find the solution. Great job!

Let's combine all the x terms together:

$7x+4x+5x=11x+5x=16x$

The resulting equation is:

$16x=0$

Now let's divide both sides by 16:

$\frac{16x}{16}=\frac{0}{16}$

$x=\frac{0}{16}=0$

$0$
