Question

Solve the equation. Check your answer.
3x – 7 = 5x + 19

Answer 1

how do you think it ?

Answer 2

so like first step subtract from both sides 3x so than will get ?

Answer 3

3x-3x-7=5x-3x+19
0 -7=2x+19 add to both sides -19 so will get

-7-19=2x+19-19
-26=2x+0 divide both sides by 2
-26/2 =2x/2
-13=x

ok ?

Answer 4

3*(-13)-7=5(-13)+19
-39-7=-65+19
-46=-46

Answer 5

ok ?

Answer 6

first, move all terms that have x into same side, others into the other
so you will get 2x = -26

then you divide both sides by 2, and you will get your answer
