Question

3x-61=2x-50I need the answer​

Answer 1

Answer: $x = 11$

Solving for variable x

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

Add -2x to each side of the equation

$-61 + 3x + -2x = -50 + 2x + -2x$

Combine like terms: 3x + -2x = 1x

$-61 + 1x = -50 + 2x + -2x$

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

$-61 + 1x = -50 + 0\\-61 + 1x = -50$

Add 61 to each side of the equation.

$-61 + 61 + 1x = -50 + 61$

Combine like terms: -61 + 61 = 0

$0 + 1x = -50 + 61\\1x = -50 + 61$

Combine like terms: -50 + 61 = 11

$1x = 11$

Divide each side by 1

$1x/1=11/1\\x=11$
