Answer: x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−31−4x=−5−5(1+5x)
−31+−4x=−5+(−5)(1)+(−5)(5x)(Distribute)
−31+−4x=−5+−5+−25x
−4x−31=(−25x)+(−5+−5)(Combine Like Terms)
−4x−31=−25x+−10
−4x−31=−25x−10
Step 2: Add 25x to both sides.
−4x−31+25x=−25x−10+25x
21x−31=−10
Step 3: Add 31 to both sides.
21x−31+31=−10+31
21x=21
Step 4: Divide both sides by 21.
21x/21 divided by 21/21
Get x = 1
Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
*I underlined everything we are working with at that moment
- 31 - 4x = - 5 - 5(1+5x)
-5(1+5x)=5-25x
-31-4x=-5-5-25x
-31=-10-21x
-21=-21x
x=1
