First, simplify. Combine like terms

10x - 3x = 7x

7x + 1 = x + 4

Isolate the x. Subtract x from both sides, and 1 from both sides

7x (-x) + 1 (-1) = x (-x) + 4 (-1)

7x - x = 4 - 1

Simplify

6x = 3

Isolate the x. Divide 6 from both sides

6x/6 = 3/6

x = 1/2

1/2, or 0.5 is your answer for x.

hope this helps

-3x + 1 + 10x = x + 4

7x + 1 = x + 4
-x -x

6x + 1 = 4
-1 -1

6x=3
÷6 ÷6

x= 0.5

sorry it's confusing im only good at math not explaining

An oxygen tank contained 212 12/3 liters of oxygen before 27 1/3 liters were used. If the tank can hold 240 3/8 liters, how much

lukranit [14]

So, initially 240 $\frac{3}{8}$ -212 $\frac{12}{3}$ were empty:

this is :

$240 \frac{3}{8} - 212 \frac{12}{3} = 240 \frac{3}{8} - 212 +4 = 240 \frac{3}{8} - 216= 24 \frac{3}{8}$

12/4 is 4 so that's why i substituted it with 4.

now, later 27 1/3 were used so we add this tho the original empty space

$24 \frac{3}{8}+ 27 \frac{1}{3}$ = $24 \frac{9}{24}+ 27 \frac{8}{24}$ = $51 \frac{17}{24}$

which is the result!
