Question

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

Answer 1

What is your plan for solving this? Generally, collect 'x' to one side and everything else to the other. Let's see what you get.

Answer 2

3x-7=5x+19
now get all the "x" on one side
5x-3x=-7-19
2x=-26
x=-13

Answer 3

Sweet! Are you doubting? Go check it out inthe ORIGINAL problem statement and you'll be done.

Answer 4

is it right

Answer 5

You tell me. That's why you check it in the original problem statement. If it doesn't work, somehting went wrong along the way. Since checking is in the problem statement, I must first encourage you to do it. Substitute on both sides and simplfy to see if you get the same thing on both sides.

Answer 6

okmg can somebody tell me if it's right

Answer 7

omg

Answer 8

It can't be right until you complete the assignment! I don't understand why you won't do it.

3x – 7 = 5x + 19

x = -13

3(-13) – 7 = 5(-13) + 19

Check it out! If it works, you are done and you can tell yourself if it is correct. Don't you think that would be of some value?
