Question

Solve for x. 23r + 2 = 156 + 481 + 6 A. x = 1/12 B. x = -2/5C. x = -1/10 D. x = -12/5

Answer 1

C) x= -1/10

1) Evaluating the following expression

23x+2= 15x + 48x + 6 Add the like terms

23x +2 = 63x +6 Subtract 63x and 2 from both sides

23x -63x = 6 -2

-40x =4 Divide both sides by -40

x = -4/40 Simplify it by 4

x= -1/10

2) Hence, the answer is x= -1/10
