What is the solution to the equation?

philcua · Answer

heres the problem i need a solution for x

kamibug · Answer

$$32 - 6x + 7x = -15 + 28$$
First, combine like terms on each side. 
Can you do that? :)

philcua · Answer

nope lol this my first homework ,like this

kamibug · Answer

Like terms have the same variable and exponent. 
So on the left side the like terms are -6x and 7x
-6x + 7x = 1x or just x
Get it ?

philcua · Answer

o ok so the numbers that have the same variable are like terms

kamibug · Answer

Right. :) So now we have $$32 + x = -15+28$$ Can you simplify the right side? :)

philcua · Answer

ok 13?

kamibug · Answer

Right ! $$32 + x = 13$$
Now to finally solve for x we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. How do you think we can do that? :)

philcua · Answer

ummm idk
moving it to the side

kamibug · Answer

We can leave x where it is and subtract 32 from both sides to cancel it out on the right. :)
