Solve, showing and explaining all steps in the process. 7x – 9 – 4(x – 1) = 28 Solve 35k−5=710k by eliminating the fraction. Explain how you determine what to multiply each term by and all the steps to solving the equation.Solve the following equation for x. Show each step. 5x + 2 = 3x + 4(2x - 1).
you messed it up. do it right. the first one is -6
5x + 2 = 3x + 4(2x - 1)
get rid of the parentheses:
5x + 2 = 3x + 8x - 4
get all the x stuff on the left:
5x - 11x = -4 - 2
collect like terms
-6x = -6
divide by the x coefficient (-6):
x = 1
