can someone simplify these like terms do not solv just simplify if you do not no how to do this do not try because i need this done by 1.-3/2x-68+2x+8 10 5/6x-1+ 9 1/6x-9 and -3 + x -1/3x+4 .

Starting with the "plus two" first, I'll subtract two from either side of the equation. Only then will I divide through by the seven. My work looks like this:

7x + 2 = -54

   -2    -2

7x     = -56

--       ---

7         7

x     =  -8

By doing the plus / minus first, I avoided fractions. As you can see, the answer doesn't involve fractions, so I did myself a favor by doing the dividing-through last. My solution is:

x = –8
