What is the solution to this equation 3x -x + 8 + 5x -2 = 10

3x -x + 8 + 5x -2 = 10

First, combine like terms

3x - x + 5x = 7x

8 - 2 = 6

7x + 6 = 10

Note the equal sign. What you do to one side you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. First subtract 6 from both sides

7x + 6 (-6) = 10 (-6)

7x = 10 - 6

7x = 4

Next, isolate the x by dividing 7 from both sides

7x/7 = 4/7

x = 4/7

x = 4/7, or (B) is your answer

hope this helps

final answer is : )
