-3x + (-18) = 2x + 7 +18 +18 -3x = 2x +25 -2x -2x -5x = 25 ----- ----- -5 -5 x=-5 *------- equals a division line
5x+18 = 2x+9 5x-2x = 9-18 3x = -9 x = -3 and y = 3
10 + 6x + 2x = 18 First, add the like terms. 6x + 2x + 8x. So now the problem is 10 + 8x = 18. Then subtract 10 from both sides. 8x = 8 Divide by 8 to get the variable by itself. x = 1
2x - 8 = 10 2x = 10 + 8 2x = 18 x = 18 / 2 x = 9
18
16 + 2x = 10 + 8x 2x - 8x = 10 - 16 -6x = -6 x = 1 Check: 16 + 2(1) = 10 + 8(1) 18 = 18
-3x + (-18) = 2x + 7 +18 +18 -3x = 2x +25 -2x -2x -5x = 25 ----- ----- -5 -5 x=-5 *------- equals a division line
How do you add 2x plus 3y equals 18 in 5x-y equals 11
5x+18 = 2x+9 5x-2x = 9-18 3x = -9 x = -3 and y = 3
10 + 6x + 2x = 18 First, add the like terms. 6x + 2x + 8x. So now the problem is 10 + 8x = 18. Then subtract 10 from both sides. 8x = 8 Divide by 8 to get the variable by itself. x = 1
2x - 8 = 10 2x = 10 + 8 2x = 18 x = 18 / 2 x = 9
2 + 2x = 18 2x = 18 - 2 2x = 16 x = 8
2x+10=12 2x=2 x=1
1
x equals 19
