Question

Solve the equation. Show all your steps in solving for x:
3x – 32 = -7x + 28

Answer 1

Answer: x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Add 7x to both sides

3x −32 + 7x = −7x + 28 + 7x

10x − 32 = 28

Step 2: Add 32 to both sides

10x −32 +32 = 28 + 32

10x = 60

Step 3: Divide both sides by 10

10x/10 = 60/10

= 6
