7 – 3x – 4 + x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

combine like terms -3x + x = ? 7 - 4 = ? now put them together and what do you get ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

don't forget to do the x terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you explain it more?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is -3x + x ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3x2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no...-3x + x -2x do you understand ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops..-3x + x = -2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we have to find ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and 7 - 4 = 3 so now you have -2x + 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what do i do now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=3/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats the answer...-2x + 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bit it gave me these answers 3 – 2x B. 3 – 3x C. 2x – 3 D. 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think we have to find value of x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is no equal sign, therefore, all you can do is simplify to 2x - 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops..-2x + 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or 3 - 2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is np equal sign but we can put above equation equal to zero. and then we can caloculate vale of 'x'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7 - 4 = 3 -3x - x = -2x put it together and we have 3 - 2x, which is the same as -2x + 3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you kelliegurl33

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3x + x = -2x....sorry about that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you understand ? All we did was combine like terms and simplify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good to hear :)
