Question

Solve equation.

-3x + 1 + 10x = x + 4

Answer: x=1/2

(for anyone who needs the answer)​

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=1/2$

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

$-3x+1=10x=x+4$

First, combine like terms on the left:

$7x+1=x+4$

Subtract 1 from both sides. The left cancels:

$(7x+1)-1=(x+4)-1\\7x=x+3$

Subtract x from both sides. The right cancels:

$(7x)-x=(x+3)-x\\6x=3$

Divide both sides by 6:

$(6x)/6=(3)/6\\x=1/2$

So, our answer is 1/2

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

• -3x + 1 + 10x = x + 4            ⇒ simplify left side
• 7x + 1 = x + 4                      ⇒ subtract x + 1 from both sides
• 7x - x = 4 - 1                        ⇒ simplify
• 6x = 3                                 ⇒ divide both sides by 6
• x = 3/6                                ⇒ simplify
• x = 1/2                                 ⇒ answer
