Question

Add the two equations 2x+6 and 6x-1

Answer 1

Answer:

The sum of the two equations is 8x + 5 and the value of x is -5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's add these two equations and solve for x:

2x + 6 + 6x - 1 = 0

8x + 5 = 0

8x = -5

x = -5/8

The sum of the two equations is 8x + 5 and x =  -5/8

Answer 2

Answer:

Sum = 8x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

It is required to add the following equations

2x+6    &   6x-1

So, the sum of the equations

= (2x + 6) + ( 6x - 1 ) ⇒ Combine like terms.

= ( 2x + 6x ) + ( 6 - 1 )

= 8x + 5

So, the result of adding the equations 2x+6 and 6x-1 is 8x + 5
