Question

6x-10+3x=35 Solve for x

Answer 1

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:
`6x\text{ - 10 + 3x = 35}`

collect like terms for x:

`\begin{gathered} 6x\text{ + 3x - 10 = 35} \\ 9x\text{ - 10 = 35} \end{gathered}`

subtract 10 from both sides:

`\begin{gathered} 9x\text{ - 10 + 10 = 35 + 10} \\ 9x\text{ + 0 =45} \\ 9x\text{ = 45} \end{gathered}`

divide both sides by 9:

`\begin{gathered} (9x)/(9)=(45)/(9) \\ x\text{ = 5} \end{gathered}`
