Presumably this is an equation asking you to find the value of x 10-3x = 2x-8x+40 Arrange all like terms on the left and right hand sides remembering to change signs: 8x-3x-2x = 40-10 Simplified: 3x = 30 Divide both sides by 3 for the solution: x = 10 Check that answer is correct by substituting 10 for x in the original equation.

6x - 3y + 2 = -3y - 2x8x + 2 = 0 (add 3x + 2y to both sides)8x = -2 (subtract 2 from both sides)x = -1/4 or -0.25 (divide both sides by 8)
