Question

If 32x+1 - 3x+5, what is the value of x?
оооо

Answer 1

`x = ( - 6)/(29)`

Explanation:

`32x + 1 - 3x + 5`

Collect like terms

`32x - 3x + 1 + 5`

`29x + 6`

For simplifying, equate the expression to zero. Thus,

`29x + 6 = 0`

Add -6 to both sides of the equation

`29x + 6 - 6 = 0 - 6`

`29x = - 6`

Divide through by 29

`(29x)/(29) = ( - 6)/(29)`

`x = ( - 6)/(29)`

Answer 2

x =
`(4)/(35)`

Explanation:

Given

32x + 1 = - 3x + 5 ( add 3x to both sides )

35x + 1 = 5 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

35x = 4 ( divide both sides by 35 )

x =
`(4)/(35)`
