Question

Solve the equation.

–3x + 1 + 10x = x + 4

x = x equals StartFraction one-half EndFraction
x = x equals StartFraction 5 Over 6 EndFraction
x = 12
x = 18

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. -3x + 1 + 10x = x + 4 [given]
2. 7x + 1 = x + 4 [combine like terms]
3. 6x + 1 = 4 [subtract x from both sides]
4. 6x = 3 [subtract 1 from both sides]
5. x = 1/2 [divide both sides by 6)
