Question

is this equation 7x+6-4x+12+3x-8 always,sometimes, or never true?

Answer 1

x= -50

Answer 2

I need the work for it.

Answer 3

think bout it wat it askin
sometimes

Answer 4

wait huh?

Answer 5

sometimes

Answer 6

whats the combine like terms part?

Answer 7

An equation requires an equal sign.

Answer 8

there is a equal sign.

Answer 9

Where is the equal sign?

Answer 10

the question says....

is the equation 7x+6-4x=12+3x-8 always,sometimes, or never true?
combine like terms on each side of the equation
+6=3x+
now solve the equation.

Answer 11

thats word for word of the question^

Answer 12

O.K. I see the equal sign now, it wasn't in the original posted problem.
3x + 6 = 3x + 4
Does that look like it ever could be true??? Don't think so.

Answer 13

so what do we put next?

Answer 14

It is never true, subtract 3x from both sides you get
6=4 Not in Missouri

Answer 15

i thought it was sometimes?

Answer 16

Get those kind of thoughts out of your head...

Answer 17

okay. how do i combine like terms with +6+3x+ ?

wat u need me to do ???

Answer 20

7x+6-4x=12+3x-8 always,sometimes, or never true? <-- first question
combine like terms on each side of equation. +6=3x+ <---- second question
the equation is always,sometimes, or never true <---- third question

Answer 21

Combine terms, means only "similar" terms. You can't combine 7x and 6.
7x + 6 -4x = 12 +3x - 8 combining similar terms on lefts gets
3x + 6 = 12 + 3x - 8, now combining similar terms on the right side get
3x + 6 = 3x + 4 Subtract 3x from both sides to isolate x
3x-3x + 6 = 3x - 3x + 4
0 + 6 = 0 + 4
6 = 4 That tell you it is a bogus equation and there is no solution.

Answer 22

so is that never true or sometimes?

Answer 23

I can't think of anytime when 4 equals 6, so I'm gonna say "never true"
