Question

Solve and show work please :(
(3x + 10) - 5x = 6x -50

Answer 1

1. Remove the parentheses from (3x + 10). Let me know what you get.

Answer 2

@millecityy_

Answer 3

what do you mean remove parentheses? It'll just be : 3x + 10

Answer 4

Yes, exactly, but show me what the entire equation would look like afterwards.

Answer 5

Anyway, the equation would look like 3x + 10 - 5x = 6x - 50

2. Next, subtract 10 from both sides. Let me know what you get.

Answer 6

Im stuck

Answer 7

All you have to do is subtract 10 from both sides. How did you get stuck?

Answer 8

Subtract from where? I'm confused

Answer 9

So the left side is -40? and the right is 0?

Answer 10

When someone says, "subtract a number from `both sides`, they mean for you to subtract the number from `both sides of the equal sign`.

Answer 11

That's what I did, I think?

Answer 12

But your result should look like this:

Answer 13

I just did it but i reversed it. Thank you

Answer 14

Yes, but what I mean is, when you write the result back to me, you should write out the result you got which should have been

`3x -5x = 6x - 60`

Answer 15

Do you want to finish this or not?

Answer 16

@millecityy_

Answer 17

Yes i do

Answer 18

Okay, so next, subtract 6x from both sides

Answer 19

66?

Answer 20

Not exactly:

Answer 21

1 and 0?

Answer 22

You're supposed to let me know what the result of your subtractions were. I can't help you unless you let me know what the entire equation looks like after your subtractions.

Answer 23

Im asking if that's right? I would get 1x from subtracting -5x - -6x
