Question

Solve the equation. -3x + 1 + 10x = x + 4

Answer 1

x =
`(1)/(2)`

simplify the left side by collecting like terms

7x + 1 = x + 4 ( subtract x from both sides )

6x + 1 = 4 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

6x = 3 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x =
`(3)/(6)` =
`(1)/(2)`

Answer 2

`x=[tex](1)/(2)`[/tex]

Explanation:

Solving the equation mean finding the value of x

Equation given is:

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

Now what we need to do is take the values with x in it to the left side of the equation and the other numbers to the right side of the equation.

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

Now simplify values with x and the numbers.

`6x=3`

`x=[tex](1)/(2)`[/tex]

Therefore
`x=[tex](1)/(2)`[/tex]
