Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
For this type of equation, you want to combine all like terms. So you can combine the x and the constants. So
-2x - 6 = -6x - 2
+6x +6x
---------------------------
4x - 6 = -2
+6 +6
-----------------
4x = 4
4 multiplied by what number is 4? well 1 so x = 1
Answer:
x=-19/5
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x=2x+19
-3x-2x=19
-5x=19
x=19/-5
Answer:
get x to one side by subtracting 2x from 2x+19
new equation:
-3x-2x=19
-5x=19
divide both sides by -5
x=-19/5
or x=-3 4/5
How many pounds of blueberries did Kendra eat?
Answer:
Kendra ate 1/4 pounds of blueberries.
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of blueberries Sean had = 1/3 pound
