Question

My question is what is. 6x +5–2x=-19

Answer 1

x=-6

Explanation:

Our first step is to combine like terms. We can combine 6x and -2x

4x+5=-19

Now we have to move the variables to one side, and the numerical values to the other. We can do this by subtracting 5 from both sides. (What you do to one side, you must do to the other to keep the equation equal.)

4x=-24

Now we can divide both sides by 4.

x=-6
