8x+5-x = -2 Original Equation
7x+5 = -2 Subtract x from 8x
7x = -7 Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation
x = - 1 Divide both sides by 7.
That equation has no solution. There is no possible number that's equal to 18 more than itself.
5x plus 3 does equal 3 plus 5x; commutative law.
Multiply the bottom equation by -1
It is an equation of: 5x+3 = 28 and its solution is x = 5 5 times x plus 3 equals 28. Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation. 5 times x equals 25. Divide both sides of the equation by 5. x equals 5. (stop)
yes it is!
5x + 2 = x + 12 5x - x = 12 - 2 4x = 10 x = 10/4 x = 5/2 or 2.5
7x + 8 = 5x + 327x = 5x + 242x = 24x = 12hope this helps
It is an equation and the value of x is 2
There is no one answer. This is an equation for a straight line.
y=-5x+8 the slope is -5.
In the equation 43X +2=5X, X=-1/19.
It is a quadratic equation in the variable x.
