Question

`- 103x - 6 = - 6x - 103`
​

Answer 1

x = 1

Explanation:

1. 
   `- 103x - 6 = - 6x - 103`
2. 
   `- 103x + 103x - 6 = - 6x + 103x - 103`
3. 
   `- 6 = 97x - 103`
4. 
   `- 6 + 103 = 97x - 103 + 103`
5. 
   `97 = 97x`
6. 
   `(97)/(97) = (97x)/(97)`
7. 
   `1 = x`

Answer 2

x = 1

Explanation:

Solve for x:

-103 x - 6 = -6 x - 103

Add 6 x to both sides:

6 x - 103 x - 6 = (6 x - 6 x) - 103

6 x - 6 x = 0:

6 x - 103 x - 6 = -103

6 x - 103 x = -97 x:

-97 x - 6 = -103

Add 6 to both sides:

(6 - 6) - 97 x = 6 - 103

6 - 6 = 0:

-97 x = 6 - 103

6 - 103 = -97:

-97 x = -97

Divide both sides of -97 x = -97 by -97:

(-97 x)/(-97) = (-97)/(-97)

(-97)/(-97) = 1:

x = (-97)/(-97)

(-97)/(-97) = 1:

Answer: x = 1
