Question

Solve for x: 5x - 6 + 3x = 34

Answer 1

Given the equation:

$5x-6+3x=34$

To solve for x, first, we collect like terms and simplify

$\begin{gathered} 5x+3x=34+6 \\ 8x=40 \end{gathered}$

Next, we divide both sides by 8 to solve for x

$\begin{gathered} \frac{8x}{8}=\frac{40}{8} \\ x=5 \end{gathered}$

The value of x is 5.
