Question

-3 + 4 = 5x - 6. Is the answer -1?

Answer 1

-3 + 4 = 5x - 6
1 = 5x - 6
7 = 5x
You tell me. Is -1 correct, @Timg ?

Answer 2

Sorry it should have been -3x +4 = 5x - 6

Answer 3

I'm confused about what you mean @Timg

Answer 4

I forgot to add the x on the 3 in my first question.

Answer 5

8x=10

x=5/4

Answer 6

Where'd you get that, @bmorse ?

Answer 7

Ahh. Add 3x to 5x and add 6 to the 4.
Then you get the 8x=10. Right?
Got it. Thanks.

Answer 8

Oh, I get it. You forgot to put the 3 on the x, which changes the equation completely.

Answer 9

Sorry about that. Can't do math or type !

Answer 10

yup!
