nnesha · Answer

first you have to solve the euqtion

nnesha · Answer

what you get for first and second equation

anonymous · Answer

Yea i know that but im not really sure how to solve these types of equations

anonymous · Answer

I know you would want to combine the like terms but like which side would you put the variable on?

nnesha · Answer

ohhh ok it doesn't matter it can be either left or right side

nnesha · Answer

for first equation subtract 7x on both side 
or also can add 3x both side in either way you get same answer
