Answer 4

yes the first part, how about the second one?

Answer 5

OK, I'll try the second part now.

Answer 6

20x+10?

Answer 7

yes
so now you have
35x-35 = 20x+10
now bring the x in one side and the constants #s to the other side

Answer 8

I think that means it would be:

35x-20x = 35-10? <-- I'm not sure about this part.

Answer 9

35x-20x = 35+10

Answer 10

now combine them

Answer 11

OK, I'll try top figure it out first.

15x = 45

15/15 = x and 45/15 = 3

x = 3
