Question

-35x+85x-24=26 what is x

Answer 1

x=1

Explanation:

subtract 35 from 85 which would equal 50 and then add x

so 50x-24=26

add 24 to 26 because you want x by itself

which would equal 50

50x=50

divide by 50 on both sides

50/50=1

x=1

Answer 2

x=1

Explanation:

-35x+85x-24=26

Combine like terms

50x -24 = 26

Add 24 to each side

50x-24+24 =26+24

50x = 50

Divide each side by 50

50x/50 = 50/50

x=1
