Question

What is the answer to this? 5x+3=10x-17

Answer 1

Simplifying 5x + 3 = 10x + -17 Reorder the terms: 3 + 5x = 10x + -17 Reorder the terms: 3 + 5x = -17 + 10x Solving 3 + 5x = -17 + 10x Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-10x' to each side of the equation. 3 + 5x + -10x = -17 + 10x + -10x Combine like terms: 5x + -10x = -5x 3 + -5x = -17 + 10x + -10x Combine like terms: 10x + -10x = 0 3 + -5x = -17 + 0 3 + -5x = -17 Add '-3' to each side of the equation. 3 + -3 + -5x = -17 + -3 Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0 0 + -5x = -17 + -3 -5x = -17 + -3
 Combine like terms: -17 + -3 = -20 -5x = -20

  Divide each side by '-5'. x = 4

 Simplifying x = 4
