−10x + 1 + 7x = 37
-10x+7x+1=37
-3x+1= 37
Move +1 to the other side. Sign changes from +1 to -1.
-3x+1-1= 37-1
-3x=36
Divide by -3.
-3x/3= 36/-3
x= -12
Answer : x= -12
Answer:
x=-12
Step-by-step explanation:
−10x + 1 + 7x = 37
Solve the given equation for x
WE need to get 'x' alone.
First we combine like terms
[tex]-10x + 1 + 7x = 37[/tex]
[tex]-3x + 1 = 37[/tex]
Now we subtract 1 from both sides
[tex]-3x + 1-1= 37-1[/tex]
[tex]-3x= 36[/tex]
Divide both sides by -3
[tex]x=-12[/tex]
So the value of x= -12
