Question

What is the solution to this equation? 4x+10+3x=40-3x

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: combine like terms

On the left side, you can combine 4x and 3x to get 7x and the right side is already simplified

Now we have 7x+10=40-3x

Step 2: subtract 10 from both sides

10-10 = 0 and 40-10 = 30

Now we have 7x = 30-3x

Step 3: Add 3x to both sides

7x +3x = 10x and 30-3x+3x = 30

Now we have 10x =30

Step 4: divide by 10 on both sides

10x/10 = x and 30/10= 3

Therefore, we have x =3
