Question

Solve for x:
7x + 5 + x - 3 + x = 5

Answer 1

x=1/3

Explanation:

7x + 5 + x - 3 + x = 5

-5 -5 (rewrite)

7x + x - 3 + x = 0

7x + x + x = 9x (collect like terms) (rewrite)

9x - 3 = 0

9x = 3

(divide both sides by 9)

x= 1/3

i think this is the answer

Answer 2

x=1/3

Explanation:

9x+5-3=5

9x=3

x=1/3
