Help me solve for x! 3x+5=5x-7

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ostrovityanka [42]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 5 = 5x - 7

Combine like terms:

3x - 5x + 5 = -7

-2x + 5 = -7

Subtract 5 on both sides

-2x + 5 - 5 = -7 - 5

-2x = -12

x = 6

Hope this helps!! :)

How do you decide which variable to isolate in order to use the substitution method to solve a system of linear equation?​
Kazeer [188]
It doesn’t really matter which variable you isolate first but usually you would use the one that’s by itself already. like for example one of the equations was y = 8. you would already have your y solve for so you would just have to plug that in for y in the other equation. personally, i usually do x first unless one of the equations has either x or y by itself already. i think its easier to just do x first and then solve for y after that, but it just depends on what the equations are; sometimes it might be easier to just do y first. hope this helps!
