Question

Negative solution for Multi-step equations

Answer 1

`(1)/(2)(4x+6)+3x=7x+9`

`(1)/(2)(4x+8)+3x=7x+9`

Explanation:

By putting the numbers in the given equation,

`(1)/(2)(4x+6)+3x=7x+9`

2x + 3 + 3x = 7x + 9

5x + 3 = 7x + 9

(5x + 3) - 7x = (7x + 9) - 7x

(5x - 7x) + 3 = 9

-2x + 3 = 9

(-2x + 3) - 3 = 9 - 3

-2x = 6

`-(2x)/(2)=(6)/(2)`

-x = 3

x = -3

Therefore, our equation is correct which has a negative result.

In place of 6 if we use 8, value of x will be negative again.
