Question

Solve for x: 6x + 4x - 5 = 55

Answer 1

6

Explanation:

55+5=60

6+4=10

60/10=6

Answer 2

`\Huge\boxed{x=6}`

Explanation:

In order to solve this equation, our goal is to "reverse" the equation until we have x isolated on one side.

`6x+4x-5=55`

We can first combine the x terms.

• 
  `10x-5=55`
• Add 5 to both sides:
• 
  `10x=60`
• Divide both sides by 10:
• 
  `x=6`

So x = 6.
