Question

Enter the value for x that makes the equation 13x+22=x-34+5x true

Answer 1

Answer: -8

Explanation:

13x+22=x-34+5x

13x+22=6x-34 (combine like terms)

13x-6x+22=6x-6x-34 (subtract 6x on each side)

7x+22=-34

7x-22+22=-34-22 (subtract 22 on each side)

7x=-56

7x/7x = -56/7 (divide 7 on each side)

x=-8
