Question

Simplify: 5x - 6y + 4x

Answer 1

Simplifying
5x + -6y + 4x = 0

Reorder the terms:
5x + 4x + -6y = 0

Combine like terms: 5x + 4x = 9x
9x + -6y = 0

Solving
9x + -6y = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '6y' to each side of the equation.
9x + -6y + 6y = 0 + 6y

Combine like terms: -6y + 6y = 0
9x + 0 = 0 + 6y
9x = 0 + 6y
Remove the zero:
9x = 6y

Divide each side by '9'.
x = 0.6666666667y

Simplifying
x = 0.6666666667y
