Question

Combine like terms. 6x + 4 – 3x + 5

Answer 1

X = 3


Combine like terms: -4 + -5 = -9
-9 + 6x + -3x = 0
Combine like terms: 6x + -3x = 3x
-9 + 3x =0

Solving -9 + 3x = 0

Solving for variable ‘x’

Moving all terms containing my x to the left, all other terms to the right
Add ‘9’ to each side of the equation -9 + 9 + 3x = 0 + 9

Combine like terms: -9 + 9 = 0
0+3x=0+9
3x = 0 + 9

Combine like terms: 0 + 9 = 9
3x = 9

Divide each side by ‘3’.
X = 3

SORRY THIS IS SO LONG
