-7x + 5 = -9 -7x = -14 7x = 14 x = 2
7x = 5+5x 7x-5x = 5 2x = 5 x = 2.5
7x is still the slope, no matter what x equals.
4x+5=7x-8 the ansewr is 3.25
23 = 7x + 7x - 5 = 14x - 5 14x = 23 + 5 = 28 x = 28/14 = 2
4x - 7 = 5 + 7x x = -4
x = 8
x=6
7x - 9 = 3x + 5 7x - 3x - 9 = 5 7x - 3x = 5 + 9 4x = 14 x = 14/4
7x+5-14 = 28 7x = 28+14-5 7x = 37 x = 37/7 = 5.'285714' recurring
10x + 5 which is also equal to 5(2x + 1)
X=2
