Question

What is the solution to this equation

4x + x -15 + 3 - 8x = 13

Answer 1

The answer is B. x=$\frac{25}{-3}$.

You must first combine all the like terms.

4x+x-8x=-3x

-15+3=-12

-3x-12=13

Then solve the equation.

-3x-12=13

+12 +12

----------------

-3x=25

----- ------

-3 -3

x=$\frac{25}{-3}$
