30x-39x=-60-39

Answer 26

now solve it right

Answer 27

I'm lost

What is
30x -39x ?

Answer 29

I got -9x/-9= 99/-9

Answer 30

S. B.:

30x+60=39x-39
Consolidate the x terms on the right side and the constants on the left.

First, subtract 30x from both sides. What do you end up with?
Next, add 39 to both sides. What does your equation now look like?

Answer 31

So X=-11!!!! :D

Answer 32

-60-39=-99
not 99

Answer 33

Check x=-11! Check it! How would you do that?

Answer 34

+11

Answer 35

X=11

Answer 36

now correct the mistake here -9x/-9= 99/-9

Answer 37

correct

Answer 38

11 is correct
