Question

Solve the following equation: (4x – 10) + 5 = x – 11 (1 point) Responses 11 11 6 6 –11 –11 –6

Answer 1

To solve the equation, you need to isolate the variable x.

Starting with the equation:
(4x - 10) + 5 = x - 11

First, combine like terms on both sides of the equation:
4x - 5 = x - 6

Next, move all the terms with x to one side of the equation and the constant terms to the other side. You can do this by subtracting x from both sides and adding 5 to both sides:
4x - x = -6 + 5

This simplifies to:
3x = -1

Now, divide both sides of the equation by 3 to solve for x:
x = -1/3

So, the solution to the equation is x = -1/3.
