Ok ik how to do dis den

anonymous · Answer

5X=41-6
5X=35
X=7

anonymous · Answer

Well to get x alone you must isolate it on one side. Therefore, you need to get rid of the 6 and 5.

So first you'll do:
5x + 6 = 4
     -6      -6

5x=-2

Can you do the rest? :o)

do you need it @BlondeGirl ?? or you get it already?

anonymous · Answer

transpose 6 to other side and change the sign
5X=41-6
add like terms
5X=35
divide both sides by 5
X=7
