Question

What is x in 4x+2x+5=41

Answer 1

x=6 , must combine like terms (4x + 2x) which gives you 6x and then subtract 41- which is 36 . 6 divided by 36 is 6

Answer 2

4x+2x+5=41
First you combine like terms.
4x + 2x = 6x
Now you have 6x + 5 = 41
Subtract 5 from both sides.
6x+5-5=41-5
You now get 6x= 36
To get x by itself you divide both sides by 6.
You now have:
x=6
