Take it one at a time and solve for x = ...

danjs · Answer

6 - x = 5x + 30

Want to move all numbers to one side and all x's to the other side...

danjs · Answer

Ill do the first one for you,

6 - x (+x) = 5x (+x) + 30

6 = 6x + 30      (subtract 30 on both sides)

6-30 = 6x

6x = -24           (Divide both sides by 6)

x = -24/6 = -4

danjs · Answer

Try doing the second one

4x - 8 = 3x + 2

What first?

danjs · Answer

take away 3x from both ends.. what do you get?
