4x – 2 + x = 3x + 8 + 3x
Combine like terms:
4x+x-2=3x+3x+8
5x-2=6x+8
Move 6x to the other side. Sign changes from +6x to -6x.
5x-6x-2=6x-6x+8
5x-6x-2=8
-x-2=8
Move -2 to the other side.
-x-2+2=8+2
-x=10
Multiply both sides by -1.
(-1)(-x)=(10)(-1)
x=-10
Answer: x=-10
Answer:
-10 = x
Step-by-step explanation:
1) combine all like terms
bring 4x and "x" to the right side to combine them
if we do this they will become negative
so
-2=3x+8+3x-4x-x
now bring "8" to the left side if we do this 8 will become negative
-8-2=3x+3x-4x-x
now we can combine like terms
-10=6x-5x
-10=x
Hope this helps!
