If [tex]6x - 5 = 3x - 16[/tex], then [tex]x = ?[/tex]

Asked by KrazyKeith96

Answer (3)

6 x − 5 = 3 x − 16 ∣ + 5 6 x = 3 x − 16 + 5 6 x = 3 x − 11 ∣ − 3 x 6 x − 3 x = − 11 3 x = − 11 / : 3 x = − 3 11 ​ x = − 3 3 2 ​

provided question,
6x - 5 = 3x - 16
re - ordering the question , we have,
6x - 3x = -16 + 5
3x = -11
thus, x = -11/3

We solved the equation 6 x − 5 = 3 x − 16 by isolating the variable and simplifying, leading to the solution x = − 3 11 ​ . This solution was checked by substituting back into the original equation and confirming both sides were equal. Therefore, the answer is valid and correct.
