Question

5x+1=2x+10 (Please include the steps)

Answer 1

x = 3

Explanation:

5x + 1 = 2x + 10

1.) Subtract 2x from both sides to get 2x on the other side

5x - 2x + 1 = 10

2.) Subtract 1 from both sides to get 1 to the other side

5x - 2x = 10 - 1

3.) Combine like terms

3x = 9

4.) Divide 3 on each side to get x by itself

x = 3
