Question

Please help!

(6x-5)=(x+10)
How do I work this out step by step?

Answer 1

First thing we can do is get rid of parenthesis. \[
6x-5=x+10
\]

Answer 2

Alright, that's actually the first step I have down!

Answer 3

Next thing we want to is subtract \(x\) from both sides.\[
(6x-5)-x=(x+10)-x
\]

Answer 4

Again, the parenthesis can be removed.\[
6x-5-x=x+10-x
\]Do you know how to combine like terms?

Answer 5

The \(6x\) and \(-x\) combine into \(5x\), and the \(x\) and \(-x\) cancel out into \(0\).

Answer 6

Which gives us: \[
5x-5=10
\]

Answer 7

I think I can work it out from there, thank you so much!

Answer 8

You are welcome, I guess.
