Question

Which is a correct first step for solving this equation? X+7=2x+5-4x

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

you collect like terms from both sides that is, the variables on one side and the constants on the other side

Answer 2

Answer:

The first step will be grouping the like terms together on both sides of '='

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is :

$x+7=2x+5-4x$

The first step will be grouping the like terms together on both sides of '='

$x-2x+4x=5-7$

Now adding both sides.

$3x=-2$

Dividing both sides by 3, we get

$x=\frac{-2}{3}$
