Question

10x + 3 = 3(x - 6) - 8x

Answer 1

x = 1.333

Explanation:

Given equation:

10x + 3 = 3(x - 6) - 8x

10x + 3 = 3x - 6 - 8x ^ Distributive Property of Equality

10x + 3 = -5x - 6 ^ Combine like-terms

15x + 3 = -6 ^ Addition Property of Equality

15x = -9 ^ Subtraction Property of Equality

x = 1 1/3
