Question

What coefficient would you get for the x terms on the right side of 3x+15=2x+10+x+5

Answer 1

x=0

Explanation:

Answer 2

Any real number.

Explanation:

3x + 15 = 2x + 10 + x + 5

First, add like terms.

3x + 15 = 3x + 15

Subtract 15 on both sides.

3x = 3x

Divide 3 on both sides.

x = x

Since x equals x, you can give any value (any real number) to x.

Since 3x = 3x, you can say x = 1, meaning 3 = 3.

Or, you can say x = 8. 3x = 3x will be 24 = 24.

x can be any number.
