Question

- 9x + 10
-5x = —————
7

Answer 1

x =
`(17)/(14)`

Explanation:

simplify both sides of the equation

-9x + 10 - 5x = - 7

-9x + 10 + - 5x = -7

(-9x + -5x) + (10) = -7 (combine like terms)

-14x + 10 = -7

subtract 10 from both sides

-14x + 10 - 10 = -7 - 10

-14x = -17

divide both sides by -14

`(-14x)/(-14)` =
`(-17)/(-14)`

x =
`(17)/(14)`
