Solve for x: 10x + 5 = 7x - 16

Answer 1

10x + 5 = 7x - 16

Subtract 7x from both sides:

3x + 5 = -16

Subtract 5 from both sides:

3x = -21

Divide by 3 on both sides:

x = -7

Therefore, x = -7.

Answer 2

Solve for : 13x + 24 = 3x - 26

Answer 3

13x + 24 = 3x - 26

Subtract 3x from both sides:

10x + 24 = -26

Subtract 24 from both sides:

10x = -50

Divide by 10 on both sides:

x = -5

Therefore, x = -5.

Answer 4

Solve for x: -12x + 20 = -10x + 32

Answer 5

-12x + 20 = -10x + 32

Subtract -10x from both sides:

-12x + 10x + 20 = 32

Combine like terms:

-2x + 20 = 32

Subtract 20 from both sides:

-2x = 12

Divide by -2 on both sides:

x = -6

Therefore, x = -6.

Answer 6

Solve for x: 5x + 2 = 3x - 20

Answer 7

5x + 2 = 3x - 20

Subtract 3x from both sides:

2x + 2 = -20

Subtract 2 from both sides:

2x = -22

Divide by 2 on both sides:

x = -11

Therefore, x = -11.
