Question

$- 103x - 6 = - 6x - 103$
​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

-103 x - 6 = -6 x - 103

Add 6 x to both sides:

6 x - 103 x - 6 = (6 x - 6 x) - 103

6 x - 6 x = 0:

6 x - 103 x - 6 = -103

6 x - 103 x = -97 x:

-97 x - 6 = -103

Add 6 to both sides:

(6 - 6) - 97 x = 6 - 103

6 - 6 = 0:

-97 x = 6 - 103

6 - 103 = -97:

-97 x = -97

Divide both sides of -97 x = -97 by -97:

(-97 x)/(-97) = (-97)/(-97)

(-97)/(-97) = 1:

x = (-97)/(-97)

(-97)/(-97) = 1:

Answer:  x = 1

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. $- 103x - 6 = - 6x - 103$
2. $- 103x + 103x - 6 = - 6x + 103x - 103$
3. $- 6 = 97x - 103$
4. $- 6 + 103 = 97x - 103 + 103$
5. $97 = 97x$
6. $\frac{97}{97} = \frac{97x}{97}$
7. $1 = x$
