Question

Write a related function for -6x+8x-5=3

Answer 1

x = 4

Explanation:

−6x + 8x − 5 = 3

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−6x + 8x −5 = 3

−6x + 8x + −5 = 3

(−6x + 8x) + (−5) =3 (Combine Like Terms)

2x + −5 = 3

2x −5 = 3

Step 2: Add 5 to both sides.

2x−5+5=3+5

2x=8

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

2x/2 = 8/2

x = 4
