Question

10x+4=5x+5

Answer 1

well start by getting all the x's on the same side

so subtract 5x from both sides

5x + 4 = 5

now to get x by itself we will subtract 4 from both sides

5x = 1

now just divide by 5

Answer 2

that's exactly what I did. I tried to check my answer and it wasn't adding up.. Thank you!! :)

Answer 3

What did you get?

Answer 4

oooo I was dividing it wrong.. I now got .2

Answer 5

Good. 0.2 or (1/5) is the value of x.
Good job, robz.

Answer 6

oh I can leave it as 1/5? ok that's what I was thinking of doing also.

Answer 7

Yeah. Since 0.2 and (1/5) are equal. :)
