Simplifying
10 + 5x = 5x + 10
Reorder the terms:
10 + 5x = 10 + 5x
Add '-10' to each side of the equation.
10 + -10 + 5x = 10 + -10 + 5x
Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
0 + 5x = 10 + -10 + 5x
5x = 10 + -10 + 5x
Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
5x = 0 + 5x
5x = 5x
Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.
5x + -5x = 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
0 = 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
0 = 0
Solving
0 = 0
Answer: 0 solutions
I'm sorry!!!!
where is the x?!
Simplifies the problem, you divide by a value which if plugged into x would equal 0. One example is dividing by (x-1) as x=1 results in 0
4,500 x .05 = 4275
4,275 x .05 = 4061.25
4,061.25 x .05 = 3858.1875
answer is 3,858.18
