y=-2+6

Mehek (mehek14):

what is that?

OpenStudy (freemap):

theres 2'xs which equal 2 and 5+1=6

@Mehek14

Mehek (mehek14):

x + 5 = -x + 1

OpenStudy (freemap):

6 because the x's cancel out

@Mehek14

Mehek (mehek14):

2x = -4 x = -2

OpenStudy (freemap):

3x=-6 -2

Mehek (mehek14):

ye so x = -2
