Question

Solve this:

20x + –16x + 4x − –10x + –7x = 11
This is solving two step equations with like terms.

Answer 1

x=1

Explanation:

20x + –16x + 4x − –10x + –7x = 11

Combine like terms

First a negative negative is a postive

20x + –16x + 4x +10x + –7x = 11

34x - 23x =11

11x =11

Divide each side by 11

11x/11 =11/11

x=1
