Question

Solve the equation. -3x + 1 + 10x = x + 4

Answer 1

x = $\frac{1}{2}$

simplify the left side by collecting like terms

7x + 1 = x + 4 ( subtract x from both sides )

6x + 1 = 4 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

6x = 3 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = $\frac{3}{6}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$

Answer 2

Answer:

$x=[tex]\frac{1}{2}$[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving the equation mean finding the value of x

Equation given is:

$-3x+1+10x=x+4$

Now what we need to do is take the values with x in it to the left side of the equation and the other numbers to the right side of the equation.

$-3x+10x-x=4-1$

Now simplify values with x and the numbers.

$6x=3$

$x=[tex]\frac{1}{2}$[/tex]

Therefore $x=[tex]\frac{1}{2}$[/tex]
