2x + 4 = 3x +4
1) First bring all of the unknowns ("x") to one side and the cardinal values to the other side. When terms switch sides, they also switch signs (e.g., moving a +4 from one side to the other makes the value -4 once moved).
So 2x moves to the right and +4 moves left, giving you the equation:
+4 -4= 3x - 2x
2) Simplifying both sides leads to the following:
+4 - 4=3x - 2x
0 = 1x
0=x
(But usually, the unknown is represented on the left hand side of the equation)
x=0
3) Since we have discovered a result, one can check the answer by replacing the unknown with the solution (in this case, 0):
2x + 4 = 3x +4
(2 * 0) + 4 = (3 * 0) + 4
4 = 4
The check, uh, checks. So we are good to go!
3x + 2x = 5x. 5x= (-4) X = (-4)/5 x= -0.8
2x+3x = 5x
3x+5 = 2x+13 3x-2x = 13-5 x = 8
3x + 5x = 2x + 28x = 2x + 26x = 2x = (2/6) = 1/3
x+30 = 3x-50 x-3x = -50-30 -2x = -80 x = 40
3x+4 = 2x-3 3x-2x = -3-4 x = -7
3x - 2 = 2x + 4 3x - 2x = 4 + 2 x = 6
3x-2 = 2x+3 3x-2x = 3+2 x = 5
3x + 2x = 5x. 5x= (-4) X = (-4)/5 x= -0.8
2x+3x = 5x
balance the equation 3x-x=20-6 3x-x=2x 20-6=14 2x=14 x=7
5x+8x+3x-2x = 14x
3x + 4 = 5x - 6 -3x -3x 4 = 2x - 6 +6 +6 10 = 2x 5 = x
3x+5=4-2x+6 5x=4-1 5x=3 x=3/5
Assuming the question is "solve for x", the answer is x=5
Solve for x. 3x + 3 = x + 7 2x + 3 = 7 2x = 4 x = 2 Check it. 6 + 3 = 2 + 7 It checks.
x = 4 and y = 0
