-9x+2x+32=-10. what is x?
When solving an equation, we need to make sure all variables are on the
left-hand side, and all numbers are on the right-hand side.
There are numbers on both sides, so we need to move all of them to the right.
On simplification,
Next, combine like terms (-9x+2x).
On further simplification,
Next, divide by -7 on both sides.
Which results in
Note:-
It's always a good idea to make sure the solution is correct.
We can check that by substituting the value of x (x=6) in lieu of x (into the original equation) and seeing whether or not we have a true statement:-
On simplification,
On further simplification,
Which results in
LHS=RHS, so our solution is indeed correct.
So we conclude that
.
Good luck with your studies.
