Mehek (mehek14):
ok 5 * 2 = 10
what about 5*x ?
OpenStudy (crazysuperanya):
um... that depends what x is
Mehek (mehek14):
\(5*x = 5x\)
OpenStudy (crazysuperanya):
oh ok
Mehek (mehek14):
so you have \(2x + 5x - 10 = 3(x-5)\)

3*X=3X
Mehek (mehek14):
ok so now you have
\(2x+5x-10=3x-15\)
what is \(2x+5x\)
OpenStudy (crazysuperanya):
7x...?
Mehek (mehek14):
\(7x-10=3x-15\)
\(7x-3x=?\)
OpenStudy (crazysuperanya):
4x

Mehek (mehek14):
\(4x-10=-15\)
\(-15+10=?\)

Mehek (mehek14):
\(\dfrac{-5}{4}\)
OpenStudy (crazysuperanya):
