did i do this equation right?

Question

5x+10-6x+3= 6-2x-2

5x-6x+10+3= 6-2x-2

-1x+13= 6-2-2x

-1x+13= 4-2x

-1x+1x+13= 4-2x+1x

13-4= 4-4-1x

9= -1x

x= -9

Answer 1

Yes babe, u r right. If you ever doubt your answer in these kinds of equations then always replace the X (or any variable) with the answer you get at the end. It helps a lot.

5X + 10 - 6X + 3= 6 -2X - 2

5X – 6X+ 10 + 3= 6 -2x - 2

-1X + 13 = 6-2 -2X

-1X + 13 = 4 -2X

-1X + 1X + 13= 4 -2X +1X

13 - 4= 4 -4 -1X

9= -1X

X= -9

Now replace -9 where ever you see X in the actually equation (5X + 10 - 6X + 3= 6 -2X – 2).

Answer 2

Yes, good job!

You can always verify your answer by substituting

x = -9

into your original equation and see that the result is true.

5(-9) + 10 - 6(-9) + 3 = 6 - 2(-9) -2

-45 + 10 + 54 + 3 = 6 + 18 - 2

22 = 22 (True)

This means you answer x = -9 is correct.

Answer 3

Yes.

Let X = -9 and solve the original equation.

5*(-9)+10-6*(-9)+3 = 6-2*(-9)-2
22=22

Answer 4

Yeah, but the way you rewrite it reversing the terms only makes it more confusing.
For example,
6-2x-2, then
6-2-2x
If you do it that way, you'll end up to likely make more mistakes

Answer 5

Looks good to me.

If you want to be sure, plug in -9 for x in the original equation and see if both sides of the equation equal.

Answer 6

Best way to check if you did it right is to substitute the answer back into the original equation and make sure everything turns out correctly.

Answer 7

That's completely correct. Extra kudos to you for doing it properly by adding x to both sides instead of doing the 'move x to the other side' stuff that most people try to pull off.

Well done.

Answer 8

Yes its 100% correct

Answer 9

It looks correct. If there is any doubt, go back and plug your answer in to the original equation and see if it comes out right.

Answer 10

Yes! I just worked it out, good job!!!!

You should get 10 points!
