Question

Solve for x: 7x + 5 + x - 3 + x = 5

Answer 1

Answer:

x=1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 5 + x - 3 + x = 5

     -5                    -5         (rewrite)

7x + x - 3 + x = 0

  7x + x + x = 9x                (collect like terms) (rewrite)

9x - 3 = 0

9x = 3

(divide both sides by 9)

x= 1/3

i think this is the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

x=1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

9x+5-3=5

9x=3

x=1/3
