i have two answers to this problem so am not sure which way I need to do in or should say the order i should do it. lease help???????

problem is
7x-5+3x=6+x-10
what is the order to work this out

there is no brackets to this problem

7x-x+3x=6+5-10
6x+3x=11-10
8x=1
-------
8 8

x=1/8

x = 1/9

Can you see the error?

Substitute 1/9 for x in the original problem. This is one way to check your answer. It always helps to check your work!

To solve this problem, you need to follow a specific order of operations called the "PEMDAS" rule:

1. Parentheses: Check if there are any parentheses in the equation. In this case, there are none, so you can skip this step.

2. Exponents: If there are any exponents, simplify them first. Again, there are none here, so you can proceed to the next step.

3. Multiplication and Division: Perform any multiplication or division operations from left to right. In this equation, you have terms like 7x and 3x on the left side, so you can combine them by adding their coefficients (the numbers in front of x). This gives you 10x. Similarly, on the right side, you have x-10, so you can simplify that to -9x.

4. Addition and Subtraction: Now, perform any addition or subtraction operations from left to right. In this equation, you have -5 and 6 on the left side, which can be simplified to 1. Similarly, you have 11-10 on the right side, which equals 1 as well.

After applying these steps, your equation becomes: 10x + 1 = -9x + 1

Next, you want to isolate the variable x on one side. You can achieve this by moving all terms containing x to one side and the constants to the other side.

To do this, you can subtract -9x from both sides of the equation:

10x + 9x + 1 = -9x + 9x + 1

This simplifies to:

19x + 1 = 1

Then, subtract 1 from both sides:

19x + 1 - 1 = 1 - 1

Which simplifies to:

19x = 0

Finally, divide both sides by 19 to solve for x:

(19x) / 19 = 0 / 19

x = 0

So, the correct solution to the problem is x = 0.

In the provided answers, x = 1/8 and x = 1/9, neither of them is the correct solution since the correct answer is x = 0. It is important to carefully follow the order of operations and double-check your work to ensure the accuracy of your solution.
