Will Medal!!
What is the solution to the following equation?

2(3x –7) + 18 = 10

1
3
5
6

Answer 1

I think it's 1 can someone correct me if im wrong?

Answer 2

Simplifying
2(3x + -7) + 18 = 10

Reorder the terms:
2(-7 + 3x) + 18 = 10
(-7 * 2 + 3x * 2) + 18 = 10
(-14 + 6x) + 18 = 10

Reorder the terms:
-14 + 18 + 6x = 10

Combine like terms: -14 + 18 = 4
4 + 6x = 10

Solving
4 + 6x = 10

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4 + 6x = 10 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + 6x = 10 + -4
6x = 10 + -4

Combine like terms: 10 + -4 = 6
6x = 6

Divide each side by '6'.
x = 1

Simplifying
x = 1


You were correct @xxlyh

Answer 3

oh thank you!! do you mind helping me correct one more? x)

Answer 4

Sure

Answer 5

The steps below show the incomplete solution to find the value of x for the equation

6x + 10 –4x = –4 –11:

Step 1: 6x + 10 –4x = –4 –11

Step 2: 6x + 10 –4x = –15

Step 3: 2x + 10 = –15

Which of these is most likely the next step?


2x = 5
2x = –25
2x = 25
2x = 150

Answer 6

2x = –25 was my answer

Answer 7

The next step in getting x by itself is to subtract 10 from both sides.

Answer 8

Yes that's correct.

Answer 9

thank you so much for your help!!
