X + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = -26

Even though it says negative, the same rules apply.

4x + 6 = -26
4x = -32
x = -8

-8, -7, -6, -5

What is the ultimate goal when solving equations? What do you want your final answer to look like?

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\text{To get x on one side of the equation:} \ \ x = ...}$

Step-by-step explanation:

When we solve for an equation, our goal is to find the value of the variable. Any variable can be used, but for the time being let’s assume we use $x$ .

We can algebraeically solve equations until we get the value of x - in which we will have x equal to something.

Say we have the equation $5x+5=20$ . Our goal is to find the value of $x$ . <u>We can do this by getting x isolated on one side so we have something equal to x</u>.

We can subtract 5 from both sides and divide both sides by 5.

$5x=15\\\\x=3$

We now know the value of $x$ since it’s on one side of the equation.

Hope this helped!

Cancel something
we cancel x's

multiply 1st equation by 5 and 2nd by 7 and add them
-35x-30y=-5
<u>35x-28y=7 +</u>
0x-58y=2

-58y=2
divide both sides by -58
y=-1/29
sub back
5x-4(-1/29)=1
5x+4/29=1
minus 4/29 from both sides
note, 1=29/29
5x=25/29
divide bot sides by 5 (or times 1/5)
x=5/29

(5/29,-1/29)
