Question

X + 9x + 5 = 35 . Find value of x.

Answer 1

x = 3

Explanation:

x + 9x + 5 = 35

=> x + 9x = 35 - 5

=> x + 9x = 30

=> 10x = 30

=> x = 30/10

=> x = 3

Answer 2

x = 3

Explanation:

Combine like terms. Like terms have same variable with same exponent.

Here x and 9x are like terms

x + 9x + 5 = 35

10x + 5 = 35

Subtract 5 from both sides

10x + 5 - 5 = 35 - 5

10x = 30

Divide both sides by 10

10x/10 = 30/10

x = 3
