Answer: -16/3
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]3(x - 2) + 4x = 10(x + 1)\\3x - 2(3) + 4x = 10x +1(10)\\3x - 6 + 4x = 10x + 10\\7x - 6 = 10x + 10\\7x - 10x = 10 + 6\\-3x = 16\\x = \frac{16}{-3} =-\frac{16}{3}[/tex]
Answer:
-16/3
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x – 2) + 4x = 10(x + 1)
Step 1 distribute the 3 to the x and -2
Outcome: 3x - 6 + 4x = 10(x + 1)
Step 2 distribute the 10 to the x and 1
Outcome: 3x - 6 + 4x = 10x + 10
Step 3 combine like terms
Outcome: 7x - 6 = 10x + 10
Step 4 add 6 to both sides
Outcome: 7x = 10x + 16
Step 5 subtract 10x from both sides
Outcome: -3x = 16
Step 6 divide both sides by -3
Outcome: x = -16/3
