Question

Solve for x: 5x - 6 + 3x = 34

Answer 1

Given the equation:

`5x-6+3x=34`

To solve for x, first, we collect like terms and simplify

`\begin{gathered} 5x+3x=34+6 \\ 8x=40 \end{gathered}`

Next, we divide both sides by 8 to solve for x

`\begin{gathered} (8x)/(8)=(40)/(8) \\ x=5 \end{gathered}`

The value of x is 5.
