Question

Slove the following linear equation for x 5x-2+x=9+3x+10x =

Answer 1

x = -11/7

Explanation:

5x-2+x=9+3x+10x

6x-2=13x+9

+2 +2

6x=13x+11

-13x -13x

-7x = 11

/ /

-7 -7

x =
`(-11)/(7)`

Answer 2

5x - 2 + x = 9 + 3x + 10x
Combine like terms:
6x - 2 = 9 + 13x
Subtract 6x to both sides:
-2 = 9 + 7x
Subtract 9 to both sides:
-11 = 7x
x = -1.571428571428571
or
x = -11/7
