Question

combine like terms are the same side of the equation which drug can be combined 3 / 5 x - 6 equals 18 - 4x - 1​

Answer 1

It's x=5

Explanation:

X=5

Answer 2

x = 5

Explanation:

Given

`(3)/(5)`(x - 10) = 18 - 4x - 1 = 17 - 4x ← collecting like terms on right side

Multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction, gives

3(x - 10) = 85 - 20x ← distribute left side

3x - 30 = 85 - 20x ( add 20x to both sides )

23x - 30 = 85 ( add 30 to both sides )

23x = 115 ( divide both sides by 23 )

x = 5
