Question

3x-61=2x-50
I need the answer​

Answer 1

Answer:
`x = 11`

Solving for variable x

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

Add -2x to each side of the equation

`-61 + 3x + -2x = -50 + 2x + -2x`

Combine like terms: 3x + -2x = 1x

`-61 + 1x = -50 + 2x + -2x`

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

`-61 + 1x = -50 + 0\\-61 + 1x = -50`

Add 61 to each side of the equation.

`-61 + 61 + 1x = -50 + 61`

Combine like terms: -61 + 61 = 0

`0 + 1x = -50 + 61\\1x = -50 + 61`

Combine like terms: -50 + 61 = 11

`1x = 11`

Divide each side by 1

`1x/1=11/1\\x=11`
