anonymous · Answer

Ok but I am trying to understand the order of operation and  and how to come up with that answer... THis is so confusing to me

princeharryyy · Answer

take all the constants on the one side and the variables on the other and solve @michelebeme2

anonymous · Answer

Combine like terms. (-9-2) = 11 on the left.
(6x-5x) = x and the constant 2 on the right.
Then just subtract two from the left and right to combine the like terms and you get x = -13.

anonymous · Answer

ok so it will always be just x on the left then ? You dont add 6x + 5x to get 11x its just x ?

princeharryyy · Answer

its a - sign in between not a + one @michelebeme2

anonymous · Answer

ok but if it is a - sign then wouldn't you subtract 6x - 5x  to get 1 x ? oh wait I got it one x or x is the same thing?
