Question

-2x + 3 – 5x – 4 = -3x – 8 + 10x

what is x

Answer 1

x= 1/2

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

−2x+3−5x−4=−3x−8+10x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−2x+3−5x−4=−3x−8+10x

−2x+3+−5x+−4=−3x+−8+10x

(−2x+−5x)+(3+−4)=(−3x+10x)+(−8)(Combine Like Terms)

−7x+−1=7x+−8

−7x−1=7x−8

Step 2: Subtract 7x from both sides.

−7x−1−7x=7x−8−7x

−14x−1=−8

Step 3: Add 1 to both sides.

−14x−1+1=−8+1

−14x=−7

Step 4: Divide both sides by -14.
