Solve for "x" in 6x-(3x-5)=10?

5/3 ! Alright first of all you have distribute the negative, then you simplify the equation to 3x+5=10, subtract the 5 which leaves you with 3x=5 then last step you divide the 3! hope that helps!

Work: 6x-3x+5=10

3x=5

x=5/3

6x+a million=-17+3x a million)Subtract 3x from 6x to get the x on one facet. = 3x+a million=-17 2)Subtract a million from -17 to isolate the x. = 3x=-18 3)Divide -18 through 3 as a fashion to substantiate x. = x=-6 4)Your answer is x = -6 x=-6

x isn't 5 because that would make it

6(5) - (3(5)-5)=10

30- (15-5)=10

30- 10 = 10

20=10 ......False

Change equation to:

6x + (5-3x) =10

5-3x = 10 - 6x

-10 +5 = -6x +3x

-5 = -3x

cancel the negatives

5=3x

5/3 = x

Checking:

6(5/3) - [ 3(5/3)-5 ] = 10

2(5) - [1(5) - 5] = 10

10 - [5-5] =10

10 -0 = 10

10 = 10

x= 5/3

Here's the work:

6x-(3x-5)=10

6x-(3x-5)=10

+5=+5

6x-3x=15

3x=15

Now divide

3/3=1 or X

15/3=5

So the answer is...

x=5

6x - (3x - 5) = 10

6x - 1(3x - 5) = 10

Use the distributive property.

Multiply negative 1 by 3x and 5, and you get...

6x - 3x + 5 = 10

Subtract 5 from 10.

6x - 3x = 5

3x = 5

x= 1 and 2/3.

6x-(3x-5)=10

6x-(3x-5+5)=10+5

6x-3x=15

3x=15

divide both sides by 3 to find x.

therefore

x=5

6x - (3x - 5) = 10

3x -5 = 10

3x = 15

x = 5

6x - (3x-5) = 10

-(18x - 30x) = 10

-18X + 30x = 10

12x = 10

x = 10/12 or x = 5/6
