Question

4x-3+2x-7+5x-1=58

What is x?

Answer 1

x = 69/11

Explanation:

4x - 3 + 2x - 7 + 5x - 1 = 58 collect like terms ↓

11x - 3 - 7 - 1 = 58

11x - 11 = 58 move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign ↓

11x = 58 + 11 add the numbers ↓

11x = 69 then divide both sides of the equation by 11 ↓

x = 69/11 ;)

Answer 2

69/11

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4x−3+2x−7+5x−1=58

4x+−3+2x+−7+5x+−1=58

(4x+2x+5x)+(−3+−7+−1)=58(Combine Like Terms)

11x+−11=58

11x−11=58

Step 2: Add 11 to both sides.

11x−11+11=58+11

11x=69

Step 3: Divide both sides by 11.

11x /11 = 69/11
