Question

Can you help me I am trying my best here

Answer 1

x = 7

Explanation:

5x - 2 + x = 9 + 3x + 10

add like terms

6x - 2 = 19 + 3x

subtract 3x from both sides

3x - 2 = 19

add 2 to both sides

3x = 21

divide both sides by 3

x = 7

hope this helps

Answer 2

x = 7

Explanation:

all you have to do is simplify the equation. I added 5x and x so that on the left side of the equation I had

6x -2 = ________

Then on the right side I added 10 and 9 so on the right side of the equation I had

________= 19 + 3x

so simplified the equation was

6x -2 = 19 + 3x

then you just subtract 3x from both sides

3x -2 = 19

then you add 2 to each side

3x = 21

then you divide both sides by 3

x = 7
