how to solve 15x-10=-9x+2

Question

hba · Answer

Well Its Very Easy To Solve,Why Dont you give it a try ..

nubeer · Answer

first bring all the terms with "x" on one side and terms without it on the other side..
Remember when u move any number from one side of equal to other side u have to change its sign for example:
+2x+ 1 = 3x
now u have to bring all terms with x on one side.
1 = 3x-2x
so can u give it a try?

I'm going to make up an equation and show all steps.

$$ \begin{aligned}3x + 2& = 9x + 3 \ 3x&=9x + 3 - 2\3x&=9x + 1\ 3x-9x&=1 \ -6x&=1\x &={-1 \over 6}\end{aligned}$$
