Question

Solve this pls 7x-10-x=2x+26

Answer 1

x = 9

Explanation:

#1) Simplify each side.

• 7x - 10 - x = 2x + 26
• 6x - 10 = 2x + 26

#2) Bring x terms to the left side and numbers to the other side.

• 6x - 2x = 26 + 10
• 4x = 36

#3) Divide both sides by 4.

• 4x/4 = 36/4
• x = 9

Answer 2

`7x - 10 - x = 2x + 26`

Taking like terms ( i.e. terms with same variables ) to left side and constant terms ( i.e. simple numbers ) to right side . .

`⇢7x - x - 2x = 26 + 10`

`⇢6x - 2x = 36`

`⇢4x = 36`

`⇢x = (36)/(4)`

`⇢ \boxed{x = 9}`
