Question

Solve the equation.

−10x + 1 + 7x = 37

x = −15
x = −12
x = 12
x = 15

Answer 1

Ok. First combine like terms. What are your like terms?

Answer 2

Right.

Answer 3

So you would do -10 + 7

Answer 4

Yep. So now your equation is -3x+1 = 37

Answer 5

Yes, you would.

Answer 6

And you should get -3x = 36.

Answer 7

No, you don't divide the variable, you just do 36 divided by -3

Answer 8

First step: Combine like terms. -10x and 7x are like terms since they both have an x to them and have no exponents(I like to say these have an exponent of one. Then you subtract one. Then after that, you divide both sides by 3.

Answer 9

Then you will find what x equ- really?? -_-

Answer 10

The goal is to find X. That's how I learned quadratics how to solve these.
