Question

5x-7=-10x+8 give me answer

Answer 1

Answer: $x=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Add 10x to each side of the equation: $-7 + 5x + 10x = 8 + -10x + 10x$

2) Combine like terms: 5x + 10x = 15x -----> $-7 + 15x = 8 + -10x + 10x$

3) Combine like terms: -10x + 10x = 0 -----> $-7 + 15x = 8 + 0$

$-7 + 15x = 8$

4) Combine like terms: 8 + 7 = 15 ----> $15x = 15$

5) Divide each side by 15: $x = 1$

Answer 2

5x-7=-10+8
-5x -5x. Subtract 5x on both sides
—————
-7. =-15x+8
-8. -8
——————
-15/-15 =-15x/-15 Get x by itself
———————
X= 1
