Question

Solve for x simplify as much as possible -7x+11x+5=2x+31

Answer 1

x = 13

Explanation:

given the equation

- 7x + 11x + 5 = 2x + 31 ( collect like terms on left side )

4x + 5 = 2x + 31 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

2x + 5 = 31 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

2x = 26 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 13
