Question

...

Answer 1

5(2x + 1) = 12x – 1
10x+5=12x-1
12x-10x=5+1
2x=6
x=6/2

Answer 2

5(2x + 1) = 12x – 1
THese problems require a lot of practice and some times trial and error

first you distribute the 5

10+5=12x-1 does it look easier now?

Answer 3

you can do lots of things :)

Answer 4

some times the steps dont matter

5(2x + 1)+1 = 12x add one both sides

10x+1+1=12 x distribute
see this time i addes 1 to both sides but still same.

Answer 5

last time we distrubited first

5(2x + 1) = 12x – 1

10x+1=12x-1

10x+1+1=12x add 1

see how if you did either step first you still arrive at current step

Answer 6

from here you add the ones since they are like terms :)

10x+2=12x

Answer 7

wait i messed up

Answer 8

5(2x + 1) = 12x – 1
10x+5=12x-1 first distribute the 5
10x+5+1= 12x -1+1 add 1 to both sides
10-x+6= 12x simplified form. 1+-1 is 0 and 5+1 is 6
with me so far?

Answer 9

10x+6= 12x

that was actually 10x+6 not 10-x+6 sorry my keyboard is malfunctioning
anyhoo

10x+6-10x=12x-10x we add -10x to both sides to get all the xs in one side.

Can you simplify that for me? try it :)

Answer 10

its subtraction :D we add -10x :). Be careful cuzz it is tricky. I could have sad subtract 10x also which would be same as add -10x

Answer 11

YES :)

Answer 12

6=2x

just divide by 2 both sides

Answer 13

6/2 = x

because 2/2=1 and right side is 1x which is basically just x.
