Let's get the same terms on the same side.
I am going to remove 5x from both sides of the equation by subtracting 5x

5x - 5x<span> -7 = 7x -</span>5x<span> - 17</span>
           -7 = 2x - 17   now lets remove the 17 from both sides
       -7 + 17 = 2x     (why do we add 17?  Think of 2x -17 as 2x +  -17.  Tor remove a negative number we add it.
Now we finally have     10=2x and if we divide both sides by 2

<u>10</u><span>  = </span><u>2x</u><u>
</u>2       2    we get that x = 5
<u />Let's check by substituting 5 in the original equation:
5(5) - 7 = 7(5) - 17
25 - 7 = 35 - 17
<span>18      =       18</span>

Brandon uses the steps below to solve the equation 15x +6 = 14x +5 using algebra tiles.
Fed [463]

Answer:

D. Brandon is not correct because he should have added 6 negative unit tiles to isolate the variable in step 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Key goal is to have x on one side while the other value to the right. By subtracting 14x on both sides, you would get x+6=5. You would finally subtract 6 on both sides, not 5, to get the x by itself, thus x=-1.

BlackZzzverrR [31]
A subtracted from b means b-a

7g+11 subtracted from 12 means 12-(7g+11)=12-1(7g+11)=12-7g-11=12-11-7g=1-7g
