Question

solve the equation 8x+5=6x-5

Answer 1

Answer:

8x-6x=-5-5

2x= -10

x=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

8x + 5 = 6x - 5

Bringing all the like terms together and making the appropriate sign changes,

8x - 6x = -5 - 5

2x = -10

x = -10/2

x = -5

Proof:

LHS: 8x + 5

Substituting the value of x in LHS,

8*(-5) + 5 = -40 + 5 = -35

RHS: 6x - 5

Substituting the value of x in RHS,

6*(-5) - 5 = -30 - 5 = -35

Therefore LHS = RHS.

Hope it helps :)
