Question

3x -5+x=10+5 how to solve equation

Answer 1

3x - 5 + x = 10 + 5      <---------- This is your initial equation
4x - 5 = 15      <-------------------- Step 1: The first thing you want to is simplify both                                                                     sides of the equation (combine like                                                                               terms). As shown in the initial equation,                                                                       3x + x is 4x and 10 + 5 is 15.
4x = 20      <------------------------- Step 2: Isolate the x term on one side, and the                                                                           terms without x on the other. To do this,                                                                         you must add 5 to both sides of the                                                                               equation.
x = 5      <----------------------------- Step 3 (final step): Simplify. In order to fully                                                                               solve, and calculate what x equals, you                                                                       must divide both sides by 4 to get the x                                                                         by itself.

**In most questions like these, the ultimate goal is to find out what x equals.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

4x − 20 = 0Factorization:4(x − 5) = 0Solutions:x = 204 = 5
