x - 3 = 5x + 13

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You need to get your x's to one side and you numbers to the other.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Isolate x on one side, than the numbers on the other.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, 6x=16. Solve for x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4x=16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My bad.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, Try again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmm, wait. x - 3 = 5x + 13 So then: -3 - 13 = 5x - x -16 = 4x So, x should be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Zelda, can you help me with another question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = -2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Firefire38, sure post it, Anyhow, X = -4.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Have to wait 25 secs to bump it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since if you do -16/4 = 4x/4, then it becomes x = -16/4 = -4.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ready.
