Question

Simplify the expression ten x minus 4 plus 3 x.

Answer 1

10.x-4+3.x=13.x-4

Answer 2

10x -4 + 3x = 13x - 4 first step is to combine like terms on ea side of =
13x - 4 = 13x - 4 get the variable alone with a coefficient of 1
-13x -13x
-4 = -4 if you end up eliminating the variable, there are 2 possibilities:
1. you end up with a true statement infinite solutions
2. you end up with a false statement no solution

Answer 3

7x -4
