Question

What is the solution to the equation?

Answer 1

did you still need help? @leothelion

Answer 2

yeah

Answer 3

alright so first we want to combine like terms... could you do that?

Answer 4

ok

Answer 5

so we start with

32-6x+7x=-5+28

so sum up the coefficients on the sum and then sum up the right

Answer 6

so we get 32+x=23

Answer 7

32-13x=13

Answer 8

its -15

Answer 9

not - 5

Answer 10

nice try but no when you add a negative to a positive you subtract

Answer 11

but my bad i wrote it down wrong haha restart!!

Answer 12

so i was right i did subtract

Answer 13

15 - 38 is 13

Answer 14

28

Answer 15

so we start at:

32-6x+7x=-15+28

add the two variables: so in a simple form we have:

7x-6x=1x or x

so our equation is:

32+x=-15+28

follow?

Answer 16

yep

Answer 17

ok i c what i did i was adding like terms but it was coefficients

Answer 18

okay so we then simplify the right side of the equation:

32+x=-15+28

subtract:

28-15=13

so then we go back to our equation:

32+x=13

subtract 32 from both sides:

32-32+x=13-32

give it a try...

Answer 19

0+x=19

Answer 20

yes but what you have to take into consideration is the positive or negative aspect of the coefficient ......... and close :) it would be -19

so x=-19

Answer 21

ok thx

Answer 22

no problem ...
