Determine the value of x in the equation x+5x=5x+7

Answer 1

$\text{Hey there!}$

$\mathsf{Determine\ the\ value\ of\ x\ in\ the\ equation\ x+5x=5x+7.}$

$\mathsf{SIMPLIFY\ both\ sides\ of\ your\ equation}$

$\mathsf{x+5x=5x+7}$

$\mathsf{COMBINE\ your\ like\ terms}$

$\mathsf{(x+5x)=(5x+7)}$

$\mathsf{The\ RIGHT\ side\ DOES\ NOT\ have\ any\ like\ terms\ so\ we\ can}\\\mathsf{can\ leave\ alone}$

$\mathsf{x+5x= 6x}$

$\mathsf{Your\ new\ equation: 6x=5x+7}$

$\mathsf{SUBTRACT\ by\ 5x\ on\ your\ sides}$

$\mathsf{6x-5x}\\\mathsf{=}\\\mathsf{7-5x}$

$\mathsf{SOLVE\ your\ equation\ above\uparrow}$

$\mathsf{If\ you\ SOLVED\ correctly\ you\ SHOULD\ have\ the\ VALUE\ of\ x}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\mathsf{Thus\ your\ answer\ is\ x=7}}}\checkmark$

$\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}$
