Question

What is 5x plus 6 equals to negative ten plus 7x?

Answer 1

5x + 6= -10 + 7X

5x-7x= -10 - 6

-2X = -10 + (-6)

-2X = -16

X = -16/-2

X = 8

Answer 2

x = 8

Explanation:

Given

5x + 6 = - 10 + 7x ( subtract 7x from both sides )

- 2x + 6 = - 10 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

- 2x = - 16 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x = 8
