Question

4) - 10x – 5x = 45 Solve the equation

Answer 1

$\textsf{Hey there!}$

$\mathsf{-10x-5x=45}$

$\textsf{Combine your like terms: \mathsf{(-10x -5x)}}$

$\mathsf{(-10x - 5x) = -15x}$

$\mathsf{New\ equation: -15x=45}$

$\mathsf{\bf{DIVIDE}\ \mathsf{\ both\ sides\ by\ -15}}$

$\mathsf{\dfrac{-15x}{-15}=\dfrac{45}{15}}$

$\mathsf{\bf{Cancel\ out:}}\mathsf{\ \dfrac{-15}{-15}\ because\ that\ gives\ you\ }$

$\mathsf{\bf{Keep:}\mathsf{\dfrac{45}{-15}\ because\ that\ solves\ for\ x}}$

$\mathsf{New\ equation: x = \dfrac{45}{-15}}\\\\\mathsf{x = 45\div-15\rightarrow \underline{\bf{-3}}}$

$\huge\text{Thus, x = -3}\checkmark$

$\boxed{\boxed{\mathsf{Thus,\ your\ answer\ is: \boxed{\boxed{\text{\huge{\bf{x = -3}}}}}}}}\checkmark$

$\textsf{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}$
