A
The first one totals to two and the second totals to four
5x + -2 = 2x + 10 Reorder the terms: -2 + 5x = 2x + 10 Reorder the terms: -2 + 5x = 10 + 2x Solving -2 + 5x = 10 + 2x Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2x' to each side of the equation. -2 + 5x + -2x = 10 + 2x + -2x Combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x -2 + 3x = 10 + 2x + -2x Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0 -2 + 3x = 10 + 0 -2 + 3x = 10 Add '2' to each side of the equation. -2 + 2 + 3x = 10 + 2 Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0 0 + 3x = 10 + 2 3x = 10 + 2 Combine like terms: 10 + 2 = 12 3x = 12 Divide each side by '3'. x = 4 Simplifying x = 4
Its a or b
