Question

I need to see this simplifyed  7x+6=4x+27

Answer 1

7x+6=4x+27  The first thing you need to do is get the unknowns, in this case x, to one side and the knowns to the other.

So we subtract 4x from both sides and subtract 6 from both sides

7x+6-4x-6=4x+27-4x-6 or  

7x-4x+6-6=4x-4x+26-6  now solve what we can to simplify and we end up with

3x=21 divide each side by 3

3x/3=21/3 simplify and we end with

x=7

Answer 2

Okay Sandra, there is an easy way to do this.

First we look for the common factors. So in 7x + 6 = 4x + 27 the “x” on either side are the same. So we need to put them together.

This should make our problem look like this:
7x + 6 = 4x + 27
-4x       -4x
3x + 6 = 27

Now that we have the “x” together, we need to look for the next common factors. Our common factors are then our numbers without x. So now (like before) we need to combine them.

So our problem should now become this:
3x + 6 = 27
     -6    -6
3x = 21

Now the next step is to find x. So we divide by 3 on either side.

Our solution should be:
3x = 21
/3    /3
X = 7

So thus our solution is x=7.

I hope that helped!

Answer 3

ok, my method is easy!

7x + 6 = 4x + 27 . First you need to move all the "x" to 1 side of the  equation or "=" . And don't forget that when you move to the other side of the " = " you must change the sign. So , you should have

7x - 4x = 27 - 6 . Then 7x-4x is 3x  and 27- 6 is 21 . So, you now have

3x=21. Now you divide 3 into 21 to find x . So, x = 7
