Simplifying -5x + 1 = 10 Reorder the terms: 1 + -5x = 10 Solving 1 + -5x = 10 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1' to each side of the equation. 1 + -1 + -5x = 10 + -1 Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0 0 + -5x = 10 + -1 -5x = 10 + -1 Combine like terms: 10 + -1 = 9 -5x = 9 Divide each side by '-5'. x = -1.8 Simplifying x = -1.8

-5x + 1 = 10 first get the like term on one side... here 1 and -10 are like terms so move 1 to right side. get rid of 1 from left side

-5x = 10 - 1 -5x = 9 x = -9/5
