4x plus 5 equals 6x -7?

Answer 1

4x+5=6x-7

To solve this, us the 5 steps for solving an equation:

1. Eliminate parentheses/Distribute Not applicable. No parentheses or need to distribute.

2. Add like terms. Not applicable. No like terms.

3. Eliminate the variable on one side or the other. 4x+5=6x-7

Reverse the sign of 4x, making it -4x and put it in on the left side and the right side. This makes it:

4x-4x+5=6x-7-4x

Now add like terms

5=2x-7

4. Eliminate the constant term on the side of the variable. 5=2x-7

Reverse the constant term on the side of the variable (-7 becomes +7) and put one on each side:

5+7=2x-7+7

Now add like terms:

12=2x

5. Solve for the variable by dividing both sides by the coefficient 12=2x

This rule means that whatever the number is before x (in this case, 2), divide the other side by it.

12 divided by 2=2x divided by 2

And solve

6=x
