8x-7 plus 2x equals 6 plus 5x plus 2?
4x + 7 = 6x -7 14=2x so x = 7 (plus a negative # is simply - that number)
74
If 4x + 7 = 3... then x must equal -1
5
4x+7-8x=17-4x+7=17-4x=10x = -5/2
4x + 7 - 8x = 17-4x + 7 = 17-4x = 24x = -6
If: -9-4x = 7-8x Then: x = 4
8x-5=23+4x 8x-5-4x=23+4x-4x 4x-5=23 4x-5+5=23+5 4x=28 4x/4=28/4 x=7
Subtract 7 from each side: 12x = 8x + 16Subtract 8x from each side: 4x = 16Divide each side by 4: x = 4
7. 8x-40=2x+2 4x-20=1x+1 3x-21=0 3x=21 therefore x=7
8x-7 plus 2x equals 6 plus 5x plus 2?
-8X + 7 = 4X - 5 add -8X to both sides 7 = 12X - 5 add 5 to each side 12 = 12X divide each side by 12 1 = X check -8(1) + 7 = 4(1) - 5 -1 = -1 checks
4x plus 7 plus 3x equals 19 plus xx = 2
It is equivalent to: 32x^2 +88x +21
12X - 7 = 4X + 9 subtract 4X from both sides 8X - 7 = 9 add 7 to both sides 8X = 16 divide both sides by 8 X = 2 check 12(2) - 7 = 4(2) + 9 24 - 7 = 8 + 9 17 = 17 checks
If: 5x = 4x+7 Then: 5x-4x = 7 And: x = 7
