Answer:
The value of x is
Explanation:
To solve equations an effective method consists of:
- Group the terms with a variable on one side of equality, usually the first member, and the independent ones (without being accompanied by the variable) on the other side.
- Operate whenever possible to simplify the expression. This implies eliminating parentheses and denominators if any.
- Isolate the unknown or variable.
To pass elements from one side of equality to the other, it must be taken into account that:
- If they are adding or subtracting they go to the other side with the opposite sign.
- If they are multiplying they pass dividing and vice versa, but the sign does not change when changing sides.
Applied as mentioned above in the given equation:
-3+1+10*x=x+4
10*x-x=4+3-1
(10-1)*x=6
9*x=6
The simplification of a fraction consists in transforming it into a simpler equivalent fraction.
In the simplification of fractions, numerator and denominator are divided by the same number. In this case it is divided by 3 and you get:
Finally the value of x is
