Question 5 of 10
What is the solution to this equation?
5x-4 + 3x = 36

Answer 1

The value of x=5

Explanation:

1) 5x-4+3x=36

2) (Add 4 to each side so that the 4 cancels out) 5x+3x=40

3) (Combine like terms, 5x and 3x) 8x=40

4) (Solve: divide each side by 8) x=40

5) answer: 5

I hope this helps let me know if I am wrong and good luck

Answer 2

`x=5`

Explanation:

So we have the equation:

`5x-4+3x=36`

Combine like terms:

`8x-4=36`

Add 4 to both sides. The left side cancels:

`(8x-4)+4=(36)+4\\8x=40`

Divide both sides by 8:

`(8x)/8=(40)/8\\x=5`

Thus, the value of x is 5.
