Answer:

Option a) Adding 7x to both the sides

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is an equation linear in one variable x.

-7x -5= x + 3

To solve this equation we have to bring x terms on one side and constants on the other side.

Subtracting 5 from both sides will not eliminate the constant -5 hence wrong.

Adding x to both sides will make right side as 2x instead of eliminating x.

Combining like terms will give -7x-x not -7x+x hence incorrect

Adding 7x to both sides gets rid of x term on the left.

Hence this option is right answer

What is the greatest common factor of 54x^3, 18x, 36x^2
Alex73 [517]
It’s 18x because 36 and 54 are both divisible by 18, and 18 can be divisible by 18 (making 1), resulting in 18 being the most common number between the numbers, whereas the ‘x’ is common between all 3 numbers and since the least amount of x is 1, the answer is just x without an exponent
