Answer:
x=-1
Explanation:
6 - 7x = 5x - 8x + 10
First move the variables (x) to one side:
+7x +7x
6 = 5x - 8x + 7x + 10
Subtract 10 from both sides:
-10 -10
-4 = 5x - 8x + 7x
Simplify:
4x = -4
Divide by 4 to isolate x:
÷4 ÷4
first, simplify the equation, 5x-8x is -3x. So 6-7x = -3x+10
now subtract 6 from both sides, -7x = -3x+4
now add 3x on both sides. -4x = 4. now divide 4/-4 is -1. Thus X=-1
