Question

-2x+5+(-x)-5=0

Answer 1

Combine the like terms. Do you know how to?

Answer 2

I know the +5 and -5 cancel each other out but confused on how to combine the -2x and (-x). I know x is zero just can't combine those two.

Answer 3

Well, you are right, x is equal to zero, but you still can combine those two terms.

-2x + (-x) = 0
-2x - x = 0
-3x = 0

Does this help?

Answer 4

Yes, thank you so much!!
