Answer:


x=-(1)/(2)

Explanation:

So we are given an equation and we are asked to solve for x.

50x + 54 = 34x + 46

Subtract 54 from both sides.

50x = 34x - 8

Subtract 34x from both sides.

16x = -8

Divide both sides by 16.


x=-(1)/(2)

So now we have solved for x. We have found that
x=-(1)/(2).

I hope you find my answer and explanation to be helpful. Happy studying.

Answer:

x = -1/2

Explanation:

50x + 54 = 34x + 46

Subtract 34x from each side

50x-34x + 54 = 34x-34x + 46

16x +54 = 46

Subtract 54 from each side

16x+54-54 = 46-54

16x = -8

Divide by 16

16x/16 = -8/16

x = -1/2
