Question

Solve for x.3x + 5x = 64Simplify your answer as much as possible.2$X

Answer 1

The given equation is

$3x+5x=64$

Since 3x and 5x are like terms, then we will add them

$\begin{gathered} 3x+5x=64 \\ 8x=64 \end{gathered}$

Now, we will divide each side by 8 to find x

$\begin{gathered} \frac{8x}{8}=\frac{64}{8} \\ x=8 \end{gathered}$

The answer is

x = 8
