<span>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

Plotting is the place the dots belong to?

If you want to do a positive of which is like (x,5) then you go to in between the right top and bottom or x axis where the positives are and count, if the (2,y) is positive you count and go up if y is a negative then you count down how many number there is.

Let’s use (1,-1) first you go into the x-axis, one is a positive so you go to one in there, and go down one or to -1 bc the -1 is a negative and the digit is 1. ( I hope it made sense, if u need more help u can tell me.)
