Solve 6x-7-4x=2x-11-5x

Question

Solve the equation

x = - \frac{4}{5}

Alternative Form

x = - 0.8

Evaluate

6 x - 7 - 4 x = 2 x - 11 - 5 x

Subtract the terms

More Steps

Evaluate

6 x - 4 x

Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients

(6 - 4) x

Subtract the numbers

2 x

2 x - 7 = 2 x - 11 - 5 x

Subtract the terms

More Steps

Evaluate

2 x - 5 x

Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients

(2 - 5) x

Subtract the numbers

- 3 x

2 x - 7 = - 3 x - 11

Move the expression to the left side

2 x - 7 + 3 x = - 11

Move the expression to the right side

2 x + 3 x = - 11 + 7

Add and subtract

More Steps

Evaluate

2 x + 3 x

Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients

(2 + 3) x

Add the numbers

5 x

5 x = - 11 + 7

Add and subtract

5 x = - 4

Divide both sides

\frac{5 x}{5} = \frac{- 4}{5}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 4}{5}

Solution

x = - \frac{4}{5}

Alternative Form

x = - 0.8
