Question

I feel like I am asking so my questions but I dont really care its a Sunday xD

Solve:
-2x - 1 + 3x =7

Answer 1

Answer: x = 8

−2x − 1 + 3x =7

−2x + −1 + 3x =7

(−2x+3x) + (−1) =7 (Combine Like Terms)

x+ −1 =7

x−1=7

Step 2: Add 1 to both sides.

x−1+1=7+1

x=8

Answer 2

you would add like terms so it would be 1x then you add 1 to 7 so you would get 8.. the you divide both sides by 1x and you'd get 8=x
