Question

What is the value of x in the equation, 5 (x + 2) + 4x+ = 6x + 1

Answer 1

Answer:

I think there seems to be a mistake in your question because you put a plus sign "+" right after the number of 4. But without it, x would be equal to -3

Step-by-step explanation:

5 (x + 2) + 4x = 6x + 1

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5 (x + 2) + 4x = 6x + 1

(5) (x) + (5) (2) + 4x = 6x + 1  

5x + 10 + 4x = 6x + 1

(5x + 4x) + (10) = 6x + 1

9x + 10 = 6x + 1

Step 2: Subtract 6x from both sides.

9x + 10 − 6x = 6x + 1 − 6x

3x + 10 = 1

Step 3: Subtract 10 from both sides.

3x + 10 − 10 = 1 − 10

3x = − 9

Step 4: Divide both sides by 3.

3x/3 = − 9/3

x = − 3

Answer 2

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

first distribute 5 to x and 2 =5x+10 then combine like terms to 5x+4x=9x so on one side u have 9x+10 then on the other side of the equation u have 6x+1 now get the whole numbers on one side of the equation and variables on the other.

9x+10=6x+1

-6x -6x

3x+10=1

-10. -10

3x=-9

3. 3

-3=x
