Solve -3x+8+9x-7 - ScanMath

Evaluate

- 3 x + 8 + 9 x - 7

To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0

- 3 x + 8 + 9 x - 7 = 0

Add the terms

More Steps

6 x + 8 - 7 = 0

Subtract the numbers

6 x + 1 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

6 x = 0 - 1

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

6 x = - 1

Divide both sides

\frac{6 x}{6} = \frac{- 1}{6}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 1}{6}

Solution

x = - \frac{1}{6}

Alternative Form

x = - 0.1 \dot{6}
