Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 5x from both sides.

  • 7x-2-5x=5x+14-5x
  • 2x-2=14  

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

  • 2x-2+2=14+2
  • 2x=16

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

  • 2x/2=16/2
  • x=8

Step 4: Check if solution is correct.

  • 7(8)-2=5(8)+14
  • 56-2=40+14
  • 54=54

Therefore, x = 8.

Solve for x: -5/6x= -10/3 x=?
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Solve for x: -5/6x= -10/3 x=?

x = 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

from the equation ,Solve for x: -5/6x= -10/3 , to solve for x  we will first cross multiply

we have; -15= -60x

divide both sides by -60

-15/-60 = -60x/-60

x = 15/60 ( the minus will cancel out)

x = 1/4

check for your answer  by putting 1/4 where you see x

i.e -5/6(1/4) = -10/3

-5 × 2/3 = -10/3

-10/3 = -10/3......... proved!!
