Answer 16

@ninaa2 what grade are you in??

Answer 17

8th

Answer 18

The first step is to get all the like terms to the same side. The terms with x are like terms, and the terms without x are like terms. Do you understand how to do this?

Answer 19

4x +7 = 11x +5 x =2/7

Answer 20

@alivejeremy : Unless you quit your joking / spamming and give ninaa2 some serious help, please stay out of this discussion.

Answer 21

wat?

Answer 22

yes, so \[11x-4x=-5+7\] ?

Answer 23

look at that

Answer 24

The left side of that is correct, take a second look at the right side though.

Answer 25

@mathmale are u joking or nah

Answer 26

i'm not sure what's wrong with the right side.. because you have to put the positive 5 on the other side so it becomes negative.. or am i wrong?

Answer 27

did u look at it

Answer 28

Right, so then you can just simplify both sides and get:

7x=2

Then to get the x alone you just divide by 7 and have your answer.

Answer 29

I made a mistake the first time I looked at what you posted. The right side is correct, sorry about that.

Answer 30

that gives you 3.5, but then when you add 3.5 to the x the sides don't add up..

Answer 31

it;s fine, don't worry about it

Answer 32

So if you divide both sides by 7, you should get:

x=2/7

3.5 would be 7/2.

Answer 33

oh right sorry.. so 0,28571429?

Answer 34

Right!

Answer 35

but the sides don't add up to each other once i put the number as x

Answer 36

They should, here's how it looks:
4(2/7)+7=11(2/7)+5
8/7+7=22/7+5
8/7+49/7=22/7+35/7
57/7=57/7

Answer 37

ah okay i see, thank you so much! i was seriously stuck on this problem forever, thank you again!

Answer 38
