Question

What is the solution of the equation? 6x – 3 = 5x – 5

A. –4

B. –2

C. 0

D. –1

Answer 1

6x – 3 = 5x – 5

we want to solve for x that means that we want all the x's on one side. Where do you want it on the left side or right side?

Answer 2

right

Answer 3

right side

Answer 4

great we need to subtract 6x to both sides then
6x – 3 = 5x – 5
6x-6x – 3 = 5x-6x – 5
-3 =-x -5

Now we need to add 5 to both sides in order to get rid of that -5 on the right side.
What is the equation then?

Answer 5

to be honest the letters are confusing me i suck in math this is for my son

Answer 6

Can you let your son try.

Answer 7

yes i can i just dont want him to know how bad i am in math so i was trying to help him on the slick side this is a real gut buster here for me to not be able to help him

Answer 8

6x - 3 = 5x - 5



First you can subtract 5x from both sides of the equation to get all the 'x' terms on the same side:



6x - 3 = 5x - 5

6x - 3 - 5x = 5x - 5x - 5

x - 3 = - 5



Now we can add 3 to both sides of the equation to find out what 'x' equals:



x - 3 = - 5

x - 3 + 3 = - 5 + 3

x = - 2 , this is the solution to the equation.
