The equation is simplified:
6x+5+3x=50
Combine the values with x:
9x+5=50
Pass number 5 to the right side:
9x+5-5=50-5
9x=45
x=45/9
x=5

6x+5+3x=50, add the common terms together: 6x+3x=9x, so 9x+5=50
Then, subtract 5 from both sides, which gives you 9x=45. From here, divide 9 on both sides, giving you x=5.
I hope this helps!

Just to make sure I understand, the equation is 6x + 5 + 3x = 50?
If so, your first step is to combine like terms on the left side of the equation. 6x and 3x can be put together to make 9x. Then, your goal is to get the x by itself, so you need to subtract 5 from 50. This leaves you with 9x = 45. To finish the problem, divide 45 by 9 and you end up with x = 5.
Hope this helps!
