Question

Could any1 show me the steps to solve: 37x+102.5=-4x

Answer 1

Simplifying
37x + 102.5 = -4x

Reorder the terms:
102.5 + 37x = -4x

Solving
102.5 + 37x = -4x

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '4x' to each side of the equation.
102.5 + 37x + 4x = -4x + 4x

Combine like terms: 37x + 4x = 41x
102.5 + 41x = -4x + 4x

Combine like terms: -4x + 4x = 0
102.5 + 41x = 0

Add '-102.5' to each side of the equation.
102.5 + -102.5 + 41x = 0 + -102.5

Combine like terms: 102.5 + -102.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 41x = 0 + -102.5
41x = 0 + -102.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -102.5 = -102.5
41x = -102.5

Divide each side by '41'.
x = -2.5
