6x+7
_____ = X.
5
Find x.
Forgot what i'm supposed to do. Could someone explain?
To find the value of x in the equation 6x + 7/5 = x, we can follow these steps:
1. Begin by multiplying both sides of the equation by 5 to clear the fraction:
(5) * (6x + 7/5) = (5) * x
This simplifies the equation to:
5 * (6x + 7/5) = 5x
2. Distribute the 5 to each term inside the parentheses:
30x + 7 = 5x
3. Now, we want to isolate x on one side of the equation. To do this, we need to move all terms with x to one side and all constant terms (without x) to the other side.
Subtract 5x from both sides:
30x - 5x + 7 = 5x - 5x
Simplifying this gives us:
25x + 7 = 0
4. Next, we want to move the constant term (7) to the other side of the equation. We do this by subtracting 7 from both sides:
25x + 7 - 7 = 0 - 7
Simplifying further, we have:
25x = -7
5. Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 25:
(25x) / 25 = (-7) / 25
The result is:
x = -7/25
Therefore, the value of x in the equation 6x + 7/5 = x is x = -7/25.
