x+7x=32
8x=32
x=4

(07.05) Which of these is a simplified form of the equation 7x + 4 = 5 + 3x + 1x? (4 points) 3x = 9 3x = 1 11x = 9 11x = 1

slava [35]

Okay first you need to combine like terms together (3x and 1x)

7x + 4 = 5 + 4x

now you need x only on one side, you could subtract either 7x or 4x

3x + 4 = 5

subtract 4 over

3x = 1 is the answer
