5x - 2 = x + 6 is an equation - a linear equation - in one variable, x.

That answers the question which was asked.

But, perhaps you wanted a solution to the equation but were too embarrassed to ask?

5x - 2 = x + 6

Subtract x from both sides: 4x - 2 = 6

Add 2 to both sides: 4x = 8

Divide both sides by 4: x = 2

How do you solve 5x2 plus 15x equals 0?

5x^(2) + 15x = 0 Factor Factor our '5x' Hence 5x(x - 3) = 0 Hence it follows that 5x = 0 Therefore x = 0 or the other multiplicand x - 3 = 0 x = 3 So the answer is x = 0 or x = 3 (two answers).


What are the x-solutions for the equation 5x2-136 equals 44?

5x2 - 136 = 44 5x2 - 136 + 136 = 44 + 136 5x2 = 180 5x2/5 = 180/5 x2 = 36 √x2 = √36 x = ±6


What is each factor as a polynomial in descending order 5x2 - 16x plus 12?

5x2 - 16x + 12 = 5x2 - 10x - 6x +12 = 5x(x - 2) - 6(x - 2) = (x - 2)(5x - 6) Whether or not these are in descending order depends on the value of x.
