Question

What is the solution to -6+5(1-x) =- 13–7x

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -6

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

x=-6

Explanation:

−6+5(1−x)=−13−7x

−6+(5)(1)+(5)(−x)=−13+−7x(Distribute)

−6+5+−5x=−13+−7x

(−5x)+(−6+5)=−7x−13(Combine Like Terms)

−5x+−1=−7x−13

−5x−1=−7x−13

Step 2: Add 7x to both sides.

−5x−1+7x=−7x−13+7x

2x−1=−13

Step 3: Add 1 to both sides.

2x−1+1=−13+1

2x=−12

Step 4: Divide both sides by 2.

2x/2=-12/2

x=−6
