Question

Solve the equation.

–3x + 1 + 10x = x + 4

Answer 1

-3x + 1 + 10x = x + 4

7x + 1 = x + 4
-x -x

6x + 1 = 4
-1 -1

6x=3
÷6 ÷6

x= 0.5

sorry it's confusing im only good at math not explaining

Answer 2

First, simplify. Combine like terms

10x - 3x = 7x

7x + 1 = x + 4

Isolate the x. Subtract x from both sides, and 1 from both sides

7x (-x) + 1 (-1) = x (-x) + 4 (-1)

7x - x = 4 - 1

Simplify

6x = 3

Isolate the x. Divide 6 from both sides

6x/6 = 3/6

x = 1/2

1/2, or 0.5 is your answer for x.

hope this helps
