Answer:
x =
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for x, we need to isolate it [get it alone on one side]
We should start by simplifying (combining the like-terms of our equation):
5 + 5 = 5x + 5 - 2
10 = 5x + 3
- 3 - 3 (subtract 3 from both sides to isolate x)
7 = 5x
÷5 ÷5 (divide both sides by 5 to find "1"x)
So, x =
(x = 7/5)
hope this helps!!
Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
You can write it as...

Carry the 4x

Then use the quadratic formula to solve, since you want to find the negative solution, you don't need to find the positive solution, so we will have

Therefore our answer is -1
Answer: 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The power of the brain
When you're combining 'like terms', look for all the terms that end with 'ab'.
Then add all the numbers that have 'ab' after them.
