4 - 3x = 7x - 6

Question

4 - 3x = 7x - 6

stefrheart · Answer

First you need to move the 4 onto the other side

anonymous · Answer

Okay then?

stefrheart · Answer

so:
4-3x=7x-6
-4           -4
-3x=7x-10
-10x=-10
x=1

anonymous · Answer

So how would you solve this one?

anonymous · Answer

8 + 4x = -10 + x

anonymous · Answer

Would you take 8 off the ten? then put a 1 in front of the x?

stefrheart · Answer

you need to subract the 8 on both sides

anonymous · Answer

So now you have 4x = -18 + x

anonymous · Answer

@hartnn

paki · Answer

"4x = -18 + x"

now compare the like terms...

anonymous · Answer

Well thats what im confused about

anonymous · Answer

Would you make it 5x?

paki · Answer

no

paki · Answer

4x = -18 + x

4x-x= -18............. solve now plz

anonymous · Answer

uhh im still confused

paki · Answer

hmmm where...? tell me...?

anonymous · Answer

how would you minus x from x when you dont know what x equals

paki · Answer

it's equation.... here we will add or subtract the similar terms... like x or x^2 or x^3... tire.... got it now...

anonymous · Answer

So what would be the solution to the equation?

paki · Answer

what you got from here...


4X-X= -18

anonymous · Answer

Yes i need help, So what would be the next step?

paki · Answer

rite.... just add +4X-X.... What will be the answer from here..?

anonymous · Answer

I have no idea

paki · Answer

what if i say 3X...?

anonymous · Answer

If it is 3x you would divide both sides by 3

anonymous · Answer

So it would be -6

paki · Answer

yeah of course, i will divide it by the value with "x"... and here it is "3"... so that "x" remains alone... that is the basic operation in equations....

paki · Answer

yeah... it will be "X= -6" good...
