8x - 5 + 7 + 2x - x = 38

Question

x = ____

Answer 1

To solve the equation, we can combine like terms:

8x - x + 2x - x = 38 + 5 - 7

8x - 3x = 36

5x = 36

Now, divide both sides by 5 to isolate x:

x = 36/5

x = 7.2

Answer 2

Are you sure?

Answer 3

Apologies for the earlier mistake. Let's re-evaluate the equation:

8x - 5 + 7 + 2x - x = 38

Combining like terms, we have:

9x + 2 = 38

Next, subtract 2 from both sides:

9x = 36

Dividing both sides by 9, we find:

x = 4

So, the correct value of x is 4.

Answer 4

32 - 5 + 7 + 8x - 4 = 38

So thats correct

Answer 5

To solve the equation, we can combine like terms:

32 - 5 + 7 + 8x - 4 = 38

-5 + 7 - 4 = 38 - 32

8x - 2 = 6

Next, add 2 to both sides:

8x = 8

Now, divide both sides by 8 to isolate x:

x = 1

So, the value of x is 1.
