Question

6-2x=3+5x
Solve for x

Answer 1

x=3/7

Explanation:

bring -2x to the other side and add to 5x to get 7x. bring 3 to the other side and subtract by 6 to get 3. now it's 3=7x. divide both sides by 7 and get x=3/7

Answer 2

x=3/7

Explanation:

6-2x=3+5x

subtract 5x from both sides

6-2x-5x=3

subtract 6 from both sides

-2x-5x=3-6

add like terms

-7x=-3

divide both sides by -7

x=3/7
