Question

5x - x + 12 +2x - 7 = 10

Answer 1

5x - x + 12 + 2x - 7 = 10

We're simply just trying to isolate x :)

However, we must first simplify the equation by adding like terms.

(5x - x + 2x) + (12 - 7) = 10

Simplify.

6x + 5 = 10

Then, we must subtract 5 from both sides.

6x = 10 - 5

Simplify.

6x = 5

Divide both sides by 6.

6x ÷ 6 = 5 ÷ 6

Simplify.

x = 5/6

B. x = 5/6

~Hope I helped!~

Answer 2

Combine like terms. Like terms are completely the same excluding coefficients.
6x+5=10

Subtract 5 from both sides
6x=5

Divide bith sides by 6
x=5/6

Final answer: B
