Question

8x - 11 = -2x + 15 -5. What steps would you take to solve this?

Answer 1

Combine like terms. So that means combine the X's and combine the regular numbers.

- add 2x to 8x
- combine +15 -5
- then add 11 to that
- once you're done, find X by dividing 10x by whatever you have after the = sign
