x= +7 or x=2-7 let me know if you need an explanation <3
Answer:
x is the reciprocal of the difference of a and b.
Step-by-step explanation:
ax=bx+1
Subtract by bx on both sides
ax-bx=1
x(a-b)=1
x= 1/(a-b)
(1,-10)
the 10 must be negative
reason why the others dont work:
(1,10) too positive, the other two start negative, no way is it going to be way up here
(10,1) still too high
(-1,10) then again, too high
Answer:
x=−2
Step-by-step explanation: Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
3(x−5)−3=5(x−2)+2x
(3)(x)+(3)(−5)+−3=(5)(x)+(5)(−2)+2x(Distribute)
3x+−15+−3=5x+−10+2x
(3x)+(−15+−3)=(5x+2x)+(−10)(Combine Like Terms)
3x+−18=7x+−10
3x−18=7x−10
Step 2: Subtract 7x from both sides.
3x−18−7x=7x−10−7x
−4x−18=−10
Step 3: Add 18 to both sides.
−4x−18+18=−10+18
−4x=8
Step 4: Divide both sides by -4.
−4x
−4
=
8
−4
x=−2
